Advocacy Updates

2025 Bond Propositions: For information about the $631,500,000 athletics facilities bond propositions, please visit the SBISD bond webpage.  Four separate propositions will appear on the May 3, 2025 ballot.

Texas Legislative Activity Update: Last Monday was Rally Day (for Public Education) in Austin. Local advocates visited SBISDs legislators' offices. Last week, the Texas House introduced House Bill 3 (HB 3), its version of a school choice and Education Savings Account (ESA) program, following the Texas Senate’s approval of Senate Bill 2 (SB 2). SB 2 allows for private school funding: If a family elects to enroll their child in an accredited private school, that student will receive $10,000 per year. House Public Education Chairman Buckley also authored HB 2, which would add money to public education, but only $220 to the basic allotment, funding public school districts receive for each student. Students in SBISD public schools currently receive $6,130 per student in the basic allotment. At this point, most districts need $1,340 added to the basic allotment to keep up with inflation, as funds were last added in 2019. - Update provided by SBISD CPTA Advocacy Chair, Minda Caesar
