At a press conference regarding the outcome of the district's 2024 bond election, district officials and administrators expressed pride and gratitude for the passage of Propositions A, B and C, which total about $932 million.
What they're saying
Board President Amber Landrum said she was disappointed in the failure of Prop D, which would have seen a new stadium and multi-use facility constructed on property already owned by the district near E. Old Settlers Boulevard and A.W. Grimes Boulevard, but that voters sent a clear message from the ballot box.
"I am disappointed Prop D did not pass, but we'll have to address those needs as we move forward and we are really addressing our most dire needs in our district, like roofs, HVACs and computers," she said. "So thank you to everyone that got out and supported it, and I look forward to seeing these projects as they're implemented over the next several years."
What else?
Superintendent Hafedh Azaiez said the first round of bonds would be sold early next year, and support the replacement of all student and staff devices. He also said the district might have future conversations about what the community might be interested in regarding a new sports facility, as there is still student need for another competition field.
Further plans for executing bond projects are forthcoming, he said.
