An important message from
Forney Superintendent Dr. Justin Terry:
“Forney ISD is one of the fastest growing school districts in Texas. Enrollment increases are occurring every day and we have exceeded the enrollment projections for 2021-2022, anticipate another 2,400 new students to Forney ISD next year – and predict another 10,000 students by 2027.
To manage our unprecedented growth of approximately 2,000 new students each year, a diverse group of 55 residents from across our community serving on our Facilities Planning Committee studied enrollment projections, facility capacities, budgets, construction costs and more to develop and recommend a growth management bond package to support more than 35,000 students.
The Forney ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve a May bond referendum proposed by the Facilities Planning Committee. The $1,294,000,000 bond package to go before voters in May will not increase the district’s tax rate. Please take a moment to review the facts about the bond election and remember to vote in the May 7th election.”
About the 2022 Forney ISD bond referendum:
Bond proposal was developed to accommodate the 35,000 students we will have by 2031 – a 144% increase over our current population – that includes five elementary/early childhoods schools, early childhood expansions and improvements, elementary expansions and improvements, four middle/intermediate schools, intermediate school expansions and improvements, middle school expansions and improvements, a new high school and additional college and career capacity. In addition, it includes districtwide capital improvements, land acquisition for new facilities, a transportation center, and additional Forney Learning Academy space.
