The Story: Why Your Voice Matters

Texas Education Code Section 13.051 provides for detachment and annexation of territory between school districts. Our petition achieved 52.6% support from registered voters (360 of 684 signed). This will bring $6.75 million annually in tax revenue home to Prosper ISD - where these 274 students already attend school.

What's Really Happening Here

  • The Legal Framework: Texas Education Code Section 13.051 provides for detachment and annexation of territory. Section 13.004 addresses debt allocation. Section 13.005 sets effective dates
  • The Financial Reality: Prosper ISD educates all 274 students but loses $6.75 million annually from $537.7 million in assessed property value to Denton ISD - funds desperately needed for our schools and future bond capacity
  • The Academic Reality: Families chose Prosper ISD where 100% of schools are A-rated (vs 12.5% for DISD), with a 99.5% graduation rate (vs 97.6%), and 24 National Merit Scholars (vs 4). Parents don't choose educational excellence by accident
  • The Student Reality: All students from these 466 homes attend Prosper ISD schools under the Windsong Ranch Education Agreement. Zero attend Denton ISD
  • The Petition Filed: October 20, 2025 - Official petition submitted with 52.6% voter support (360 of 684 registered voters), demonstrating clear majority support
  • Board Actions Required: Prosper ISD scheduled hearing for December 15 at 6:00 PM. Denton ISD must also hold hearing and vote. Both boards must approve
