In the fall of 2022, a Citizens Advisory Task Force made up over 40 community members analyzed, studied and discussed the current and future needs of Bastrop ISD. The committee considered growth in our area, demographic trends, instructional needs and bond capacity. The CATF recommended a bond package to address these needs to the BISD School Board, which approved a bond election for $321,500,000 that will appear on the May 6, 2023 ballot.
