Comal ISD officials broke ground at the site of the yet-unnamed Elementary School No. 22—located at 3265 S. Cranes Mill Road—on March 17.
The school is part of the district’s voter-approved 2023 bond, Proposition A, according to the district’s website.
The background
In May 2023, voters approved Proposition A, which allocated $560.56 million for the construction of three new elementary schools, one middle school and the Life Bridges main campus, according to the district’s website.
The new campus is designed to provide enrollment relief to Bill Brown Elementary and will serve approximately 800 students in a 110,000-square-foot facility, as previously reported by Community Impact.
The campus will also allow the district to keep up with growth in the area and give more space to students, allowing them to learn more effectively, Chief Operations Officer Mark Stahl said.
“It's this attacking growth in our district and adjusting to it, and just providing top-notch educational facilities for students,” Stahl said.
The timeline
The CISD board of trustees unanimously approved approximately $58.43 million for the construction of the school during a meeting Jan. 22. The approval marks the final step in a three-phase process to authorize the project, according to board documents.
The school is anticipated to open in the 2027-28 school year, Stahl said.
