What you need to know
Projects to add 21,000 square foot additions to the two schools were about 30% of the way to completion, said Lee Raspberry, BISD's director of planning and construction, in a May 13 bond construction update.
Renovations will be complete around the middle of the 2025-26 school year, Raspberry said, with students moving into those expanded spaces after the winter holidays.
What else?
Work on athletic fields at both campuses were set to begin the week after the report, Raspberry said.
What's next?
Both campuses will be attended by eighth graders after the district adjusted boundaries earlier this year, as previously reported by Community Impact.
How we got here
The campus expansions were part of bond initiatives passed in 2021 and 2023 to address local growth in the student population, and make critical system upgrades and replacements. These were the first bond initiatives to be passed by voters in BISD since 2007, as previously reported by Community Impact.
