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, would 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 6.

New classrooms
Proceeds from the proposed bond are anticipated to create four new preK classrooms at Barbara Jordan Elementary School. Proceeds from the bond are also anticipated to finance cafeteria enhancements at the school
New educational programs
Proceeds from the proposed bond are anticipated to expand the career and technology education (CTE) program at David W. Carter High School.
Examples of CTE programs are
- Culinary arts
- Information technology
- Health sciences
- Hospitality/tourism
If the CTE program is expanded at Carter, the district would work with the community to determine which CTE program would work best for the school
Facility improvements
Proceeds from the proposed bond are anticipated to fund facility improvements at almost every school in District 6. Improvements include windows/doors, roofs, HVAC, and plumbing.
