The plain version

Deer Park schools run on their own government. Deer Park ISD has its own elected board of trustees, its own budget, and its own tax rate — separate from the city, on a separate ballot. It is also the single largest slice of your property-tax bill, larger than the city's share. Decisions about schools — the budget, the bond, the boundaries, the board — happen in DPISD meetings, not City Council, and they're the ones most residents never attend.

This page gathers who governs Deer Park's schools, how the district is funded, and when its board meets — so the biggest line on your tax bill is also one of the easiest to check on. The sourcing rule is the same as the rest of the hub: any figure names its document — here, mostly the district's budget and the tax-rate record — and anything we can't source stays off.
