Trustees approved three contracts for heating, ventilation and air conditioning at Hutto Elementary School and Hutto High school; a proposal to replace roofing at Farley Middle School and Veteran's Hill Elementary School; and professional design services for the next elementary school. The latter would be slated to open in the fall of 2027, said Dustin Barton, HISD's assistant superintendent of operations.
