In a special meeting on Feb. 6, the Dripping Springs ISD (DSISD) Board of Trustees voted unanimously to call for a school bond election to go on the May 3, 2025 election ballot.

The work on the May 2025 bond began in the fall of 2023 when the Long-Range Facilities Planning Committee (LRFPC) reconvened to plan for the next several years of facility needs for DSISD based on projected student growth. The committee had representation from more than 50 parents, students, staff and community members broadly representing the district. Following the LRFPC recommendation, the District formed a Citizens’ Bond Steering Committee this Fall composed of parents, students and community members, taking the work of the LRFPC to develop a bond package recommendation to be considered by the DSISD Board of Trustees. Over the last month, the Board of Trustees held workshop meetings to develop a bond package to serve the district’s high school student enrollment growth and complete capital maintenance and renovations at existing campuses.

The May 2025 bond package includes a focus on construction of the district’s second comprehensive high school, as well as capital improvements and renovations for current campuses.
