A Historic Year for School Tax Elections and a look at 2025 and beyond

2024 was another banner year for school tax elections. November post elections results showed a 39% increase in total available funds compared to 2023. 2,250 bonds went to vote in 2024.

2024 was another banner year for school tax elections. November post elections results showed a 39% increase in total available funds compared to 2023. 2,250 bonds went to vote in 2024. We closed out the year at $113.9 billion with a 75% national passage rate. This surge highlights the growing focus on securing adequate resources nationwide, particularly during national election cycles.

 

Looking ahead in 2025 and beyond:

SchoolBondFinder is currently tracking 1,158 bonds as of Jan 13, 2025. To date $31 billion is available in potential funding for 2025, and that does not include many of the watchlist initiatives, which have funds yet to be determined.

Here’s a breakdown of what lies ahead for Q1 (January 1-March 31):

 

 

As of Jan 13, 2025, 102 bonds have been introduced with a vote date between January and March. These opportunities collectively represent up to $8 billion in potential funding, with more expected for Q2, Q3, and Q4.

Five key bond categories have emerged for Q1 initiatives. Refer to the bar chart for more information.

  • Construction / renovations
  • Capital improvements,
  • Technology
  • Transportation
  • Other areas

SchoolBondFinder is the first comprehensive online database tracking K12 bond–funded capital improvement projects in the United States, enabling education partners the opportunity to offer the right solutions at the right time for a district.
