Taxpayers

Northside ISD Voters have passed $4.97 billion in bond construction programs since 1995.

NISD's first bond issue was held just a few months after the District was formed in 1949. In fact, every school in NISD has been funded by a bond issue.

In addition to millions of dollars invested in new schools and thousands of additional classrooms, a significant percentage of bond funds have allowed for infrastructure and technology upgrades, renovations at older schools, safety and security upgrades, new school buses, and land for future growth.
