Northside ISD, the biggest independent school district in San Antonio and fourth-largest in the state, is seeking almost $849 million to enhance and grow facilities.
The district estimates that 67 percent of funds in the 2018 bond would be put towards renovating, upgrading, or reconstructing existing buildings. Over $280 million is dedicated to constructing four new schools.
Bond estimates also allocate funding towards safety measures like fire alarm systems and "bullet-resistant" lobbies, as well as replacing projectors and other technology on campuses.
Is the bond likely to make an impact on local tax rates?
How is the fast-growing district adapting to the area's demands and meeting students' needs?
