Forney ISD referendum planning process:
Managed by a diverse, 55-member Bond Steering Committee to meet the expectations of our community.
“With our unprecedented growth – Forney ISD is one of the fastest growing districts in Texas – our Administration and Board of Trustees are always planning for the future so that our students of tomorrow have the same opportunities to learn and grow as the students of today. This forward-thinking approach to managing our growth is vital to keeping our schools and classrooms from becoming overcrowded.”
Greg Pharris
Forney ISD School Board President
In January 2022, a Community Facilities Committee was formed with more than 55 parents, grandparents, teachers, staff, and business and community leaders from across Forney ISD.
In response to our fast growth – and at the request of families across our entire community – their goal was to make sure every student in every school has access to uncrowded schools, modern classrooms, innovative programs, and the tools, resources and space they need to succeed.
After reviewing financial data, current academic needs, projected student growth and modern learning requirements, the committee presented a comprehensive bond recommendation in the amount of $1,294,000,000 to the Board of Trustees that reflects the wishes of our community and its taxpayers.
On February 17th, the Forney ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously to place one proposition on the May ballot. If approved by voters, there will be no increase in the property tax rate on homeowners or businesses.
The election will be Saturday, May 7th with early voting running from April 25th through May 3rd. Click HERE for more information on voting locations.
