The Bond and VATRE fit together like peanut butter and jelly – each is vital to Rockwall ISD’s future success. The bond will provide the funding needed to allow Rockwall ISD to build the facilities necessary to accommodate our growth. The VATRE will allow us to hire and retain the staff required for these spaces while funding the student programs essential to keep Rockwall ISD one of the best places in Texas to learn.
The Plan
Propositions A, B, C, and D offer a plan that addresses our growth, the overcrowding of our schools, and the need to hire and retain the best area teachers. The 2024 Propositions addresses all of these things while keeping Rockwall ISD’s tax rate one of the lowest in the area.
The Rockwall ISD VATRE & Bond propositions are two parts of a long-range plan. The VATRE will allow Rockwall ISD to increase compensation for educators, fund state requirements, including unfunded state mandates and allow the District to hire more teachers to meet the growing enrollment. The Bond propositions will include the construction of two new elementary schools, a replacement elementary school, renovations and upgrades to other campuses, expanding Career and Technical Education spaces, new buses, refreshed technology and more.
