In partnership with the community, families and students, Pearland ISD prepares all learners to achieve their highest potential. Pearland ISD ABOUT Pearland ISD seeks to address infrastructure and technology needs that exceed the capacity of its operating budget (Maintenance & Operations). These demands strain resources, hindering the district’s ability to prioritize essential areas such as staff compensation, instructional programs (including emergent bilingual and special programs), and crucial capital investments like buses, Career and Technical Education (CTE) equipment, musical instruments and more. About the Bond Pearland ISD is presenting two separate bond propositions to address these pressing challenges. The bond propositions are designed to provide enhanced opportunities for all students by providing technological upgrades and increasing safety, security and efficiency of district facilities.
If either or both bond propositions pass, Pearland ISD tax rate will not increase . The current tax rate is $1.1373, approved in the fall of 2023 with the passage of Pearland ISD’s Voter-Approval Tax Rate Election (VATRE).
