Projects By Campus:
These projects were completed without raising CFBISD’s tax rate.
The district’s current tax rate is the lowest it’s been in 31 years, and is 24 cents lower than it was when voters approved the 2018 bond program.
Looking to the future.
In August 2022, CFBISD organized the Citizen’s Bond Planning Committee to study the facility needs of the school district and ultimately present a recommendation to the CFBISD Board of Trustees for consideration.
The group of 60 citizens — made up of parents, senior citizens, community leaders, staff members and students — met nine times over six months to develop their recommendation for a $716.4 million bond program to be called in May 2023.
