Overview

On Nov. 8, 2022, voters approved Austin ISD’s $2.44 billion bond. The bond included three propositions: Proposition A: General Purpose ($2,316,025,000); Proposition B: Technology ($75,541,000); Proposition C: Stadiums ($47,434,000). The 2022 Bond Program will fund capital projects, including upgrades to safety and security, repairing failing building systems, modernize 25 school facilities through full or phased renovations, technology upgrades and other improvements.
