The BISD Board of Trustees awarded the Design-Build contract for the multipurpose indoor facility last night. Construction on the facility will begin early this fall in the area that is north of the football stadium.
This facility will not only include a full football and soccer field; it will also have a three lane 300-meter track, a girls' soccer locker room, a weight room, and an area for the BHS Drone Team to practice. Multiple student groups, athletic teams, organizations, and events will benefit from this new facility.
BISD thanks our community for providing this unique opportunity.
As promised, even with the passage of the bond, BISD is still able to lower the total tax rate by four cents, which is more than what was proposed. This lower tax rate will save the community an estimated $3 million over the life of the bond!
Thank you again for supporting Burkburnett ISD and our Bulldogs!
So many great things are happening at BISD this morning! Adventures* are everywhere you look!
*FUN was had in the making of these moments!
We can’t wait to see our Bulldogs showing off their school spirit at school and at each game! All students are encouraged to join in, dress up, and have some fun as we cheer on our Bulldogs! Let’s make this a season to remember! 🐾🔥

Grading Update for Kindergarten-Grade 2
Beginning this school year, Burkburnett ISD will transition from standards-based grading to a traditional A-F grading scale for students in Kindergarten through Grade 2.
This change is designed to:
Provide a grading system that is more familiar and easier for families to understand.
Make communication about student progress clearer.
Create greater consistency across grade levels.
Respond to parent feedback requesting a simpler way to understand student learning.
Today, Burkburnett ISD came together to kick off the 2026-27 school year with excitement and Bulldog Pride!
Thank you to our many supporters who donated door prizes to staff including First Bank, ATPE, Polly's Pretties, Helena Agri-Enterprises, United Supermarket, Wilson Office Supply, TCTA, and Bulldog Athletics Department. ATPE, Legacy Insurance and Wichita Falls Teacher Credit Union joined the celebration as well.
