Klein ISD considers plan for High School No. 5

"All the contractors I've talked to said this was on the outer edge of being doable," Robertson said. "Twenty-four months to build a high school the size we build, by compressing that schedule, you can only run a couple of shifts and you're at the mercy of mother nature."

The district could also consider a third option, delaying construction completion until August 2018, he said. However, Klein Collins High School would also pass 120 percent of capacity. The delay could also lead to as much as $11 million in additional construction costs and another $500,000–$800,000 may be required for temporary buildings at some high schools.

Robertson said some construction has been done prior to the passage of bond referendums for both Klein Collins and Klein Oak high schools. Judy Rimato, associate superintendent for communications planning, said the Klein ISD board of trustees will vote on which construction plan to chose at a 7 p.m. board meeting May 12.
