If trustees call for the bond election, voters will have the chance to approve the measure during the May 7 election.
During the board’s Jan. 11 meeting, the HISD 2021-22 Citizens Bond Advisory Committee presented several options for what would have amounted to a $750 million bond package.
According to HISD Chief Communication Officer Jamie Mount, the bond proposal is split into two propositions. Proposition A relates to proposed facilities improvements, while Proposition B relates to technology expenditures.
Mount said the exact financial amount that will be included in each proposition would be discussed by trustees before a vote is held to consider calling for the bond election.
The projects that are featured in the bond proposal include:
- a new Mosaic Program building, which would serve students with disabilities ages 18-22;
- new Educational Support Services offices;
- phases 2 and 3 of Humble High School’s planned additions and renovations;
- a Summer Creek High School classroom addition;
- fine arts additions and renovations at high schools and middle schools;
- career and technical education classroom and lab renovations at high schools and middle schools;
- turf at high school baseball and softball fields;
- replacement campuses for Sterling Middle School and Foster Elementary School;
- the construction of Middle School No. 11;
- a Summerwood Elementary School classroom addition;
- practice gyms at Atascocita, Creekwood, Humble, Riverwood, and Timberwood middle schools;
- dance classrooms at all middle schools;
- new outdoor play and fitness equipment throughout the district;
- the addition of daylighting through windows or skylights at elementary and middle schools; and
- a child nutrition work area renovation.
The Feb. 15 board meeting will begin at 7 p.m. at Humble ISD’s Board, Business & Technology Center, located at 20200 Eastway Village Drive. The meeting can be viewed live online at www.humbleisd.net/boardmeetinglive.
