Round Rock ISD administrators are planning for 2024 bond projects to be completed within a span of about five years, a new schedule from the district shows.

In a nutshell

District administrators presented a project schedule for projects funded by the 2024 bond with the board of trustees Dec. 17.

Superintendent Hafedh Azaiez said the district is working to create a schedule for each campus, with the expectation that they will be available to view on the district's website in January.

The details

The five-year plan for execution of projects funded by the 2024 bond includes:

• Year one: Focus spending on technology and equipment, as well as design for larger projects.
• Year two: Continue technology and equipment upgrades, as well as design and the permitting process for projects. The district is targeting this year to begin construction on several projects.
• Year three: Continue updating technology and equipment, with an increase in construction projects.
• Years four and five: Completing construction projects.

For example, some projects targeted for completion in the first year are the installation of water bottle filling fountains, replacement of stage curtains for performing arts and the conversion to LED lights districtwide.

How we got here

In November, RRISD voters approved three of four propositions making up $932 million in investment for capital assets within the district.

The $998 million making up the full proposal was narrowed by trustees, district staff and RRISD's Citizens Bond Committee, chaired by Fabian Cuero and Lindsey Ledyard, from an original $1 billion-$1.5 billion proposal to address several areas of needed maintenance to capital assets within the district.
