🏫 Prosper ISD: Bring Our Students' Tax Dollars Home
These ~274 students already attend Prosper ISD — yet under a contractual arrangement between Prosper Education Foundation, Windsong Ranch HOA/Developers, and Prosper ISD, the district receives $0.00 in property tax dollars to fund their education. This petition corrects this injustice by permanently aligning students with the district that educates them and ensuring tax dollars follow.
466 homes • $510M taxable value • ≈$6.2M/year to PISD after approval
🎯 Why ALL Prosper ISD Voters Should Act Now
This isn't just about Windsong Ranch — this is about ensuring every student who attends Prosper ISD has their tax dollars aligned with their school. When families pay taxes to one district but send their children to another, it creates inefficiencies, funding gaps, and administrative complexity. By supporting this petition, you're advocating for common-sense governance, financial accountability, and a stronger Prosper ISD for ALL students.
The Facts: Why This Matters
🎓 Students Already Here: All ~274 students from the affected area attend Prosper ISD today. NONE attend Denton ISD.
Unified Community: ~86% of Windsong Ranch is already in PISD. This petition moves the remaining ~14% to create one consistent district identity — ending the confusion of split boundaries within a single neighborhood.
Proven Voter Support: A majority of registered voters have already signed: 360 of 684 registered voters (52.63%) and 174 of 308 addresses (56.49%) have verified their support.
Good Governance: This aligns with Texas Education Code §13.051, which allows districts to permanently annex territory when it makes sense for students, families, and taxpayers.
💰 Financial Correction: Currently, these 466 homes pay $0.00 in property taxes to Prosper ISD despite their children attending PISD schools. After approval, these homes will generate approximately $6.2 million annually for Prosper ISD — finally aligning tax dollars with educational responsibility.
💡 What This Means for ALL Prosper ISD Voters
Even if you don't live in Windsong Ranch, this petition strengthens YOUR district by:
✅ Increasing PISD funding by ~$6.2 million annually
✅ Giving parents and voters in this area a voice in Prosper ISD governance through voting rights
✅ Leveraging $510M in assessed property values for future bonds and increased borrowing capabilities
✅ Ensuring accountability — tax dollars follow students to the district serving them

🎯 Why This Will Succeed: We need at least one ISD to vote Yes — and Prosper ISD should absolutely vote yes. We are the only known case in Texas where students already attend the ISD they are petitioning to join. When at least one ISD approves, the Texas Education Commissioner will likely approve as well, given the precedent and case law supporting this process.
To Denton ISD Trustees: While Denton ISD could oppose this petition, doing so would waste taxpayer dollars fighting a case strongly supported by Texas Supreme Court precedent and the Education Commissioner's authority — especially after your November 2025 tax rate increase. The right decision is to say yes for the students and families who don't attend your schools, and yes to fiscal responsibility by not spending money on a likely losing legal battle.

Please Approve Denton ISD Detachment and Prosper ISD Attachment under TEC §13.051
Dear Trustees,
My name is [YOUR NAME], a [YOUR VOTER TYPE] residing at [YOUR ADDRESS].
I urge both Boards to approve the pending petition for detachment from Denton ISD and attachment to Prosper ISD under Texas Education Code §13.051.
To Prosper ISD: You should absolutely vote YES. These 274 students already attend your schools, yet you receive $0.00 in property taxes to educate them. This petition will:
• Generate $6.2 million annually for Prosper ISD operations
• Add $510M in taxable property for future bond capacity
• Give these families voting rights in PISD governance
• Align tax responsibility with educational responsibility
This is the only known case in Texas where students already attend the district they're petitioning to join. Approval is the fiscally responsible and morally correct decision.
To Denton ISD: The right decision is to vote YES and avoid costly litigation. Texas Supreme Court precedent and the Education Commissioner's authority strongly support this petition. With your recent November 2025 tax rate increase, spending taxpayer dollars fighting a likely losing battle is indefensible. These students don't attend your schools — do the right thing for them and your taxpayers.
This petition has majority voter support (52.63% of registered voters, 56.49% of addresses). It represents common-sense governance, fairness for students, and fiscal accountability.
I respectfully urge both Boards to approve this petition.
Thank you for your service and consideration.
Sincerely,
