Texas public schools rely on the

support of local taxpayers to fund the

construction and improvement of

school facilities.

Similar to homeowners borrowing

money in the form of a mortgage, a

school district borrows to finance the

design, construction, expansion, and

renovations of schools and facilities.

Bonds must be approved by voters in

a bond election then sold to investors

in the competitive investment market.
