In late December 2024, during winter break, Walt Disney Elementary’s school site faced severe damage from an EF-2 tornado, Community Impact previously reported.
Due to the damage, Walt Disney Elementary students returned after winter break to the former Alvin Elementary school site, located at 1910 Rosharon Road, Alvin. Students are still attending school at this location.
Trustees voted to demolish Walt Disney Elementary’s school site at an April meeting, Community Impact previously reported.
The cost
The replacement campus will cost nearly $45 million, paid for through the district’s 2024 bond, according to district documents.
What’s next
Now that the schematic design has been presented, the district is preparing to bid and permit the replacement campus in February 2026.
The district will go through the following timeline for the replacement campus:
- February-June 2026: bidding and permitting
- July 2026-February 2028: construction
- March-July 2028: move-in
- Fall 2028: campus opens
