The Greater Arlington Chamber of Commerce proudly endorses the Arlington Independent School District’s May 2026 bond. Developing the next generation of talent and ensuring Arlington remains workforce-ready are core to the Chamber’s mission of championing economic and community prosperity.

The Arlington ISD bond package addresses documented needs developed through a community-led Capital Needs Steering Committee. The committee consists of 38 members representing a cross-section of key district stakeholders, including business leaders.

Proposition A ($438.8 million) responds to the district’s most pressing facility needs, including the replacement of two aging elementary schools, safety and security upgrades, ADA compliance improvements, renovation of existing campuses, 45 new school buses and enhancements to the Fine Arts and Special Education programs.

Proposition B ($31 million) focuses on strengthening cybersecurity and replacing outdated technology for students, staff and infrastructure.

Proposition C ($31.6 million) provides for the installation of synthetic turf at six high school baseball and softball fields, equipment replacement and additional storage facilities.

If approved, the full bond package would result in an estimated one-cent increase to the current Arlington ISD property tax rate. The average homeowner would see their property tax bill increase by about $1.50 a month or $18 a year. Arlington homeowners over 65 with a residence homestead exemption on file with Tarrant County would see no increase in their Arlington ISD tax rate.

The Chamber urges Arlington residents to vote YES on all three propositions on May 2. Early voting runs April 20-28, and voter registration closes April 2.
