DALLAS — The Dallas Independent School District is considering spending more than $13 million in bond money to purchase three lots in downtown Dallas adjacent to existing district property.
The lots include:
- 904 South Ervay Street
- 909 North Saint Paul Street
- 913 South Saint Paul Street
The district tells WFAA that if approved, a new campus would house three existing programs: Downtown Montessori, IDEA and CityLab.
In the resolution that will be considered by the DISD Board of Trustees on Thursday, April 2024, “It was determined that there is a public necessity for, and the public welfare will be served by the acquisition.”
In November 2020, voters approved a bond including $3.2 billion for repairs and upgrades. District leaders said it will allow for a more efficient use of space, potentially housing three programs in one centralized location, adding that for years families have expressed a desire to see a downtown campus.
If approved, the proposal will go back to the DISD bond and construction teams for planning and next steps.
