The 2023 Sherman ISD bond proposal is a detailed, community-driven plan developed by a committee of SISD stakeholders who met over 10 weeks in Fall 2022. As a result of this process, the committee formed a recommendation for a May 2023 bond proposal that was presented to and approved by the Sherman ISD Board of Trustees on January 23, 2023.

The 11 proposed projects provide safe and secure schools, increase educational capacity, and improve operational efficiency. State law requires all school district propositions to say "This is a property tax increase" on the ballot. However, due to high-tech industry growth, Sherman ISD can use the existing tax rate to fund the proposed bond projects with no tax rate increase.  

Proposition A - $493,185,000

• District-wide Safety, Security, and Technology (begins immediately)
• New K-5 Elementary School (opens Fall 2025)
• New K-5 Elementary School (opens Fall 2026)
• Replacement of Crutchfield Elementary School (opens Fall 2025)
• Replacement of Fairview Elementary School (opens Fall 2025)
• Additions to Sherman High School (complete Fall 2025)
• New Early Childhood Center (opens Fall 2026)
• Conversion of Dillingham Elementary School to a Middle School (complete Fall 2029)
• Renovations to Jefferson Learning Center (complete Fall 2029)

Proposition B - $46,815,000

The timeline for the projects is subject to change based on unforeseen circumstances such as weather, construction delays, and/or supply chain issues.
