Bastrop ISD marked the opening of its newest elementary school, Adelton Elementary, in August.

Adelton is one of several projects funded by the 2021 and 2023 bond initiatives.

Read on to learn more about ongoing bond projects in the district.

How we got here

Voters in BISD passed over $500 million in bonds through two initiatives in 2021 and 2023.


These were the first bond proposals to be passed by voters in the district since 2007.

Projects included in the propositions include:
  • Safety and security upgrades to existing campuses
  • Land purchases and the construction of two new campuses
  • Capacity expansions to existing campuses
  • Improvements to athletic facilities
