The new Bond program was developed through a comprehensive facilities assessment and an extensive study conducted by a 37-member Capital Needs Steering Committee comprised of parents, teachers, principals, community members, business representatives and college and university representatives. The committee evaluated and prioritized the district鈥檚 identified capital needs, which included evaluations of instructional priorities, enrollment trends, building conditions, transportation, security, technology and more, through 2025. Through a series of meetings, community dialogues and surveys, the committee reviewed and analyzed the district鈥檚 capital assessment and listened to the community鈥檚 priorities and questions. In June, the committee reported its findings to the AISD Board of Trustees and recommended a bond program to fund the priorities. The Board unanimously voted to call the Bond 2019 election on Aug. 13, 2019.
All projects in the 2019 Bond will be implemented within five years. Visit the Bond 2019 website to learn more and follow the progress.
