Following months of discussion and presentation to the district, Eanes ISD called a May 6 bond election for three propositions totaling $131.43 million at the Feb. 7 school board meeting.
“Our community-led Bond Advisory Committee took a hard look at safety, security, student programs, energy efficiency, conservation and facility needs. And the projects they recommended address all of those areas and, importantly, save us money,” Board President John Havenstrite said in a press release from the district.
Proposition A would issue $117.77 million for campus maintenance and repairs, safety and security upgrades, energy efficiency improvements and parking lot resurfacing. Additional projects would include roof and ventilation repairs, playground resurfacing and replacement of fine arts equipment. The bond item also includes refurbishments of the district’s recent purchase property adjacent to Westlake High School.
Proposition B would allocate $2.41 million for refurbishments at Chaparral Stadium, such as safety improvements, pole lighting replacement and track surface replacement. Proposition C would give $11.25 million to replace staff and student devices, along with classroom and lab computer equipment.
