Featured Frequently Asked Question: What would happen if the bond is not approved?
If the bond is not approved, current North DeSoto facilities will be challenged to meet the growing needs of the community, possibly resulting in increased overcrowding. More than 130 new addresses have been approved and in addition to 12 subdivisions with up to 500 lots currently in the planning or development phase. Due to rising costs and projected inflation, the $130 million project would cost $140 million if started in 2026.

Mrs. Roblow and NDMS Griffin, Katelyn, helped push Hope in the Ainsley's Angels Heroes 5K run this morning. Ainsley's Angels began as a father wanting to include his terminally ill daughter in activities and events. He took up running and would pushed her in his events. Eventually a specific chair was designed and created so she and others, that struggle with mobility or ability, could be included. #wearethemightyndmsgriffins #ndms2324 #ndmsgriffinsareawesome #ndmsgriffinpride #ndmsstrong #TheDeSotoDifference
