The NBISD board of trustees approved the expenditure of $665,159 for new weight room equipment and furniture for Long Creek High School Phase 2 during a regular meeting Sept. 8.
The overview
The furniture—which will be delivered and installed by Meteor Education—includes desks, chairs, work tables, office furniture, choral rises and band shells for the performing arts center, according to board documents.
The weight room equipment will be delivered and installed by Dynamic Fitness & Strength. Director of Construction Services Billy Kidd said the weight room equipment will be for a new, 5,000-square-foot space.
"The equipment has been approved by the district and campus athletic department and will support the current and future growth of Long Creek High School athletic programs," Kidd said.
The district’s November 2021 bond is funding the purchase. Voters approved the construction of Long Creek High School at the Ninth Grade Center, which calls for a weight room supporting UIL sports. The additional square footage and programs also created the need for furniture to accommodate those spaces, according to board documents.
Kidd said furniture and weight room equipment installation is planned for February 2026.
What else?
Trustees also unanimously approved the purchase of furniture, fixtures and equipment to outfit New Braunfels High School’s Career and Technical Education classrooms and labs Sept. 8. The purchase will not exceed $200,000, according to board documents.
