If voter approved on November 4, Proposition A would provide additional state and local revenue for the following Board-approved operational categories.
-
Denton ISD has over 33,000 students across 47 campuses. The district employs 4,854 full-time staff members dedicated to providing quality education and support to the community. Proposition A provides new revenue that would impact every Denton ISD teacher, employee and student. For the 2025–26 school year, Denton ISD projects an over $15 million budget deficit based on current revenue and expenditure forecasts. Proposition A will provide $26 million in new funding for the district’s Maintenance & Operations budget each year. If passed, a portion of the annual revenue generated by Prop A will come from the state – not local property owners.
-
Teacher & Staff Support
Denton ISD is the second-largest employer in Denton County, and compensation plays a key role in attracting and retaining staff.
Proposition A provides funds to the district to continue to attract teachers to support student achievement and discipline in schools and address current class sizes.
-
Safety & Security
Texas House Bill 3 requires an armed officer on every campus. There is a shortage of School Safety Officers across the state. Every Denton ISD campus has a School Safety Officer (SSO) or Student Resource Officer (SRO).
Proposition A provides funds for competitive salaries and meets the requirements of HB3.
-
Student Programs & EnrichmentÂ
More than 250 positions were cut from the district through attrition and reduction in the last year. This includes positions such as reading recovery, interventionists, and bilingual support specialists.
Proposition A provides $5 million to support student programs and enrichment.
