Because of our fast growth, Celina ISD can fund all of the projects in the 2025 bond proposal using the existing tax rate.
- 100% of the bond funds will stay in Celina ISD to be used locally for our students and our schools. Bond funds are not subject to recapture
-

-
CISD has a proven track record of finishing bond projects on time and on or under budget. We would apply the same approach to this bond
-
Construction costs continue to rise by as much as 10% each year due to inflation. Delaying any project will result in high costs later

Public school districts get no help from the state for facility funding and rely solely on bonds to fund these necessary projects
