Among the solutions, a bond ranging from $350 million-$400 million was discussed.
The overview
There are just under 30,000 students enrolled in AISD, according to a Feb. 5 news release from the district. By 2028, AISD is projected to enroll more than 33,000 students and just under 37,000 by 2033.
To manage this growth, the CAC is considering proposing to the district’s board of trustees new additions and renovations for the district. Those include:
- Two new elementary schools, projected to come out in 2025 and 2027; and a replacement elementary school for Disney Elementary and Stevenson Primary in 2026
- One new junior high campus, which could open in 2027
- Renovations and additions to Manvel High School and Alvin High School
- A land and security package
The CAC also listed three potential bond amounts, along with the tax rate impact to a home valued at $200,000.
According to the CAC, those bond amounts are:
- $350 million: two-cent decrease in fiscal year 2024-25 and a three-cent decrease in FY 2025-26; decrease of $50 per year to a home valued at $200,000
- $375 million: two-cent decrease in FY 2024-25 and a two-cent decrease in FY 2025-26; decrease of $40 per year to a home valued at $200,000
- $400 million: two-cent decrease in FY 2024-25 and a one-cent decrease in FY 2025-26; decrease of $30 per year to a home valued at $200,000
The CAC will have its next meeting on May 6 to discuss survey findings and potentially submit a recommendation for a new bond. While the CAC does not approve bond elections, they have the ability to submit recommendations to AISD and the board of trustees, according to the district’s website.
CAC meetings are open to the public, according to the district’s website.
Officials expect any recommendation from the CAC to go to the board in June, according to district documents.
