A Big Win for Our Community
Dripping Springs voters have spoken — and with overwhelming support. On May 3, 2025, residents approved a major bond package for Dripping Springs ISD, passing both Proposition A and Proposition B with more than 70% approval.
This vote reflects more than a financial investment. It shows a shared commitment to maintaining the quality of education and supporting future growth in one of the fastest-growing communities in the Hill Country.
What’s Included in the Bond Package?
The bond totals $402.3 million and is divided into two propositions.
Proposition A: Facilities, Safety & Growth
-
Construction of a second comprehensive high school designed to serve 2,500 students, located off Darden Hill Road.
-
Major improvements and renovations at existing campuses, including Dripping Springs High School and Rooster Springs Elementary.
-
District-wide capital maintenance projects, addressing aging systems and core infrastructure.
-
Safety upgrades, including bus enhancements such as seat belts.
In short, Prop A addresses capacity issues as enrollment in the district continues to grow.
Proposition B: Technology & Classroom Enhancements
-
A full refresh of student and staff devices, ensuring access to up-to-date technology.
-
New interactive classroom panels and instructional tools designed to enhance the learning experience.
Prop B focuses on future-ready education — equipping teachers and students with the tools they need to succeed.
Why This Matters for Real Estate & Families
Strong schools support strong communities — and that matters to buyers, sellers, and investors. Here’s how the bond impacts local real estate:
1. A Second High School Helps Alleviate Crowding
Growth is here, and DSISD is planning for it. Families appreciate knowing that schools aren’t just reacting to growth — they’re preparing for it.
2. Upgrades and Renovations Boost Long-Term Appeal
Updated campuses and new technology add value and stability to the community. These improvements reflect long-term investment, not temporary fixes.
3. High Voter Confidence Sends a Market Signal
With more than 70% support, the district has clear community backing. Buyers see this as evidence of a community committed to excellence.
For buyers moving to Dripping Springs, this bond is proof that the district is investing in the future. For sellers, it’s a selling point.
What Home Buyers Should Know
If you’re looking to buy a home in the Hill Country — especially within DSISD — here are things to keep in mind:
-
School zones may shift in the coming years as the new high school comes online.
-
Homes in areas rezoned to serve the new high school may experience increased demand.
-
If school quality is a top priority, now is a great time to explore neighborhoods while development is underway.
