Group photo of the committee at their final meetingFor the past two months, a dedicated group of more than 50 neighbors, parents, and local leaders have been working behind the scenes to help chart the course for the future of Decatur ISD schools.

This dedicated Bond Planning Committee has toured the halls of McCarroll Middle School, reviewed financial data with the district’s financial advisor, and listened to your feedback to answer one vital question: How do we best set our students up for success while being responsible with every taxpayer dollar?
