At its regular meeting Oct. 14, Tomball ISD's board of trustees approved a $647,120 purchase of furniture items from School Specialty using bond 2021 funds for the district’s Creekside Park Junior High School addition.

Remember this?

Creekside Park Junior High School is currently undergoing work that will include a two-story addition for fifth graders in the 2026-27 school year at a cost of $39 million. The project is part of TISD's bond package that passed in 2021.

The junior high school addition is still in progress, TISD Chief Financial Officer Zack Boles said at an Aug. 11 workshop meeting. It’s anticipated to be completed in August 2026, according to previous Community Impact reporting.

Board President Michael Pratt said that for simplicity, the district refers to the project site as Creekside Park Complex in the agenda, which he said actually refers to the fifth-grade addition.


Also on the agenda

At the Oct. 14 meeting, the board also approved the selection of PBK Architects as the architectural firm for the multiprogram activity centers at Tomball High School, Tomball Memorial High School and Tomball West High School. The 6-1 vote allows Chief Financial Officer Zack Boles to finalize contract negotiations using bond 2025 funds.

Work on the multiprogram activity centers is projected to begin this year, according to a TISD presentation on the 2025 bond projects.

School board member Jennifer Kratky voted against the recommendation and said she made her decision solely based on the company’s financial support of a political action committee. Kratky made a similar decision when school board members approved the recommendation to select Lockwood, Andrews and Newnam as the construction and project manager for the 2025 bond projects.
