Valley View ISD calls for $65M bond election
Voters within the Valley View school district will have the opportunity to weigh in on a $65 million bond. VVISD trustees last week made the call to add the proposition on the Nov. 4 ballot, with projects designed to meet growing enrollment and counteract capacity issues by 40%. The maximum tax impact of the 2025 bond referendum would be an additional 28.35 cents per $100 of taxable property value. Based on the current population and property valuations, the average homeowner would see a tax increase of $49.11 per month. Taxpayers aged 65 or older, or disabled, who have filed the appropriate exemption, will see no increase to the school district portion of their property taxes on their primary residence. The proposal includes construction of a new high school, new spaces for Career and Technical Education, relocation of the baseball field, adding parking and fire lanes and land acquisition. The bond proposal was developed with input from a bond planning committee made up of approximately 30 community members, including parents, alumni, educators and local leaders. The committee met 10 times over the past year to study facility capacity, student enrollment trends, community survey data, potential project solutions and associated costs.
