With the Nov. 3 election less than a month away, The Hub is breaking down how proceeds from the proposed $1.6 billion bond, which is not expected to raise tax rates, could impact each of Dallas ISD’s nine trustee districts.
Please note: All bond projects, project amounts, and program allocations are estimates, and could change in the future. This is a guide to District 3.

New elementary school
Proceeds from the proposed bond package are anticipated to create a new elementary school in District 3 to replace Stone Elementary and serve as a relief for Hotchkiss.
New classrooms
Proceeds from the proposed bond package are currently intended to create new classrooms at the following District 3 schools:
- 12 classrooms at Bryan Adams High School
- 24 classrooms at Alex Sanger Elementary/Middle School
- 10 classrooms at Victor Hexter Elementary
- 10 classrooms at Highland Meadows
- 12 classrooms at S.S. Conner Elementary
Expanded Career and Technology Program at Conrad High School
Proceeds from the proposed bond package are anticipated to create an expanded career technology education (CTE) program at Emmett J. Conrad High School.
Examples of CTE programs are:
- Culinary arts
- Information technology
- Health sciences
- Hospitality/tourism
If the CTE program is expanded at Conrad, the district would work with the community to determine which CTE program would work best.
Facility improvements
Proceeds from the proposed bond are anticipated to fund facility improvements at almost every school in District 3. Improvements include windows/doors, roofs, HVAC, and plumbing.
