Contents

The district largely serves the cities of Dayton, Dayton Lakes, Kenefick and sorrounding unincorporated areas of Liberty County. Small portions of the district lie within Mont Belvieu and Old River-Winfree, as well as neighboring Harris County. [2] The district stretches over 263 square miles (680 km2). [3]

History

State records indicate the ISD existed as far back as 1883. [4]

Each of the current K-5 schools serviced different grade levels, [5] but after voters approved an over-$88 million bond in 2014, Dayton ISD began construction of new campuses, repurposing of the former SFA campus [6] and demolishing the old Richter Elementary. [7] The bond plan also included the movement of middle school students from Nottingham to Woodrow Wilson Junior High, inprovements to and repurposement of Nottingham to a DAEP (alternative) center and night school, and an expansion of WWJH. Dayton High School was expanded and its auditorium was built, amongst other improvements and maintenance. [7]

Former Dayton ISD trustee John Otto held the District 18 seat in the Texas House of Representatives from 2005 to 2016, which encompasses Liberty, San Jacinto, and Walker counties. [8]
