Thousands of the district's computers for students and staff are approaching the end of their life cycles. The industry life cycle for desktop computers is four or five years and it’s even shorter for laptops. The 2023 Bond includes updates to the district’s classroom computers used by students and devices used by teachers and staff. This item is listed as its own proposition because state law requires that computer devices be listed separately on the ballot from technology infrastructure items. •$48,113,000 – FOR CLASSROOM COMPUTERS/ TOOLSETS •$4,355,000 – FOR STAFF COMPUTER REFRESH
Fort Bend ISD currently has one natatorium and one practice facility to serve all students across the district. There is no swim facility in the southeast region. Students in that area spend a significant amount of time and mileage traveling to the existing swim centers. Proposition C of the bond will provide students and staff with access to an indoor swim center in the southeast area.

Ballot Language Since 2019, Texas law has required all school district bond propositions to include OVER FROZEN DOLLAR AMOUNT “THIS IS A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE.” Due to this requirement, all voters will see that statement on the official ballot, even those whose property taxes are frozen and will not exceed the tax ceiling.
