Several major renovations for Klein ISD facilities—which are funded by the $900 million bond approved by voters in May 2022—have recently wrapped up or will begin soon, according to the district.

The overview

About $28.5 million in renovations were recently debuted at Hildebrandt Intermediate School, Chief Operations Officer August Wunderlich said via an April 3 email. Construction on the project began in June 2023, and upgrades include:
  • New and redesigned classrooms, including a dedicated art room
  • Added windows for classrooms
  • Renovations for the campus’s clinic
  • Security improvements to electronic door access systems, campus-wide security monitoring infrastructure and interior doors
  • A secure atrium space
  • A new grand staircase
  • Added bottle fillers for existing water fountains
  • Updated gym flooring
Hildebrandt Intermediate is KISD’s first “fully modernized” intermediate school, according to a March 6 news release from the district.

“As we celebrate the renovation and modernization of Hildebrandt Intermediate, we recognize the profound impact these upgrades have had on our students' experience,” Principal Kimi Williams said in the release. “The addition of natural light, enhanced safety features and collaborative spaces has created an environment where students can thrive—today and in the future.”

Some context

KISD’s May 2022 bond consisted of two approved propositions, as previously reported by Community Impact.



Proposition A allocated $843.84 million to improve safety and security; address growth and capacity challenges; modernize aging schools; renovate all schools; and upgrade academic, arts and physical education/athletic spaces.

Also approved by voters in May 2022, Proposition B allocated $51.5 million toward classroom technology for students and staff.
