The Texas: The Issue Is 2024 Election Special breaks down the key issues and races across Texas. Senator Ted Cruz and his challenger, Congressman Colin Allred sit down to talk about their race. Plus, a look at the presidential election between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris and the issues that could drive Texas voters to the polls.

Several North Texas school districts will ask voters for more funding on Election Day.

Argyle, Celina, Coppell, Frisco, Grapevine-Colleyville, Northwest, and Rockwall ISDs are holding tax ratification elections.

For example, Frisco ISD is asking for a tax rate increase of $0.0294 per $100 in home value. That additional money would help the district cover regular maintenance, operations, and debt bills.

Frisco ISD also wants voters to approve spending more than $1 billion on bond projects. The money will be used to renovate and build new schools, purchase buses, update outdated technology equipment, and build an $11 million tennis center.

Rockwall ISD is asking for $848 million for new school facilities, buses, and improving stadium facilities.

Allen ISD wants $447 million for school facilities, safety upgrades, repairing athletic tracks, and upgrading instructional technology.
