Joe’s Commentary: The Bottom 10
Yesterday, I shared the 10 largest bond referendums in dollar value going before voters, on November 3rd. The largest one is Dallas ISD with a bond of almost $4 billion, the smallest is $2.4 billion in Oakwood ISD.
However, all school district elections are local which means that $2.4 billion in Oakwood may have a greater impact on taxpayers than the almost $4 billion will have on Dallas taxpayers.
There is little correlation between the size of a school in number of students and the size of its tax base in dollars. The bottom 10 will have more meaning after the elections when we can see which ones were approved and which ones were not. - js - webmaster@texasisd.com
