School bonds, city bonds, and tax rate elections shape local schools, services, and tax bills. Some Dallas voters will even see three different propositions all labeled “A.” In his latest column for @dallasnews, @MiguelForDallas of @Commit2Dallas has a simple ask: look up your sample ballot before you vote.

What’s the difference between a bond and @mesquiteisdtx’s Proposition A? Mesquite ISD’s 2025 bond pays for buildings, buses, and technology. By law, it can’t pay salaries. Prop A would fund staff pay, substitutes, special education, campus security, and fine arts, athletics, and career and technical education.
