History

State records indicate the ISD existed as far back as 1883.[3]

Each of the current K-5 schools serviced different grade levels,[4] but after voters approved an over-$88 million bond in 2014, Dayton ISD began construction of new campuses, repurposing of the former SFA campus[5] and demolishing the old Richter Elementary.[6] 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.[6]

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.[7]
