Featured Frequently Asked Question: When would a new school be completed and the new configuration of facilities take place?
If approved by voters in November of 2023, the project would be ready for construction in late summer of 2024 with plans to open to students in 2026. This two-year construction period would help to facilitate a smooth transition for our students at grade levels currently experiencing overcrowding as they transition into middle and high school.

Featured Frequently Asked Question: What would happen if the bond is not approved?
If the bond is not approved, current North DeSoto facilities will be challenged to meet the growing needs of the community, possibly resulting in increased overcrowding. More than 130 new addresses have been approved and in addition to 12 subdivisions with up to 500 lots currently in the planning or development phase. Due to rising costs and projected inflation, the $130 million project would cost $140 million if started in 2026.
