Tomball ISD's $160 million bond to fund four new schools and renovations at all existing schools was approved by voters in the May 11 election, while a $497.7 million bond referendum proposed by Lone Star College System fell short of voter approval.
"I would like to thank the voters," said Tomball ISD Superintendent John Neubauer. "We appreciate their support of our students."
Tomball ISD called the bond election in response to a surge of growth in the northeast and southern regions of Tomball ISD. The district's student population is projected to grow by 3,700 students in the next five years. There are currently 11,700 students enrolled in Tomball ISD.
The new schools, which will cost $110 million, include an elementary and intermediate school in the southern area of the district. In addition, an elementary and a junior high will be built in The Woodlands.
