CCISD trustees approve Bond 2024 for November ballot
During Monday night’s regular board meeting, Corpus Christi ISD’s trustees approved placing a $135.4 million bond proposal on the Nov. 5 ballot. The measure would not affect residents’ tax rate.
“Our board clearly indicated they wanted us to structure a bond package that would benefit the most students and staff without increasing the tax rate,” said Superintendent Dr. Roland Hernandez. “Bond 2024 would continue the district’s work to be a strong community partner while respecting residents’ personal budgets.”
The bond package includes a new campus located adjacent to the Yeager site to house students from Kostoryz, Sanders and Yeager elementary schools. If approved, students would continue classes in their current school until the new school opens, which is estimated to be August 2026.
Additionally, Houston Elementary School would be renovated to house Houston students as well as those from Fannin and Travis elementary schools.
Districtwide, $3 million would help upgrade fine arts capability, including improved stage lighting, high school projectors and electric screens, as well as replace aging band equipment and expand the district’s band instrument inventory.
To continue progress toward the district’s goal of having two gyms at all middle schools, bond funding would add an additional gym at Haas Middle School.
At the high school level, Bond 2024 allocates $30 million to make interior renovations to King High School which, expenses permitting, would include classrooms, restrooms, locker rooms, windows and more. Additional funds would renovate restrooms, locker rooms and corridors at Moody High School as well as provide a dedicated weight room at Veterans Memorial High School and eight additional classrooms to accommodate growth on the city’s southside.
“We thank the school board for agreeing to place this measure before voters,” Hernandez said. “Since 2008, we have replaced nearly a third of our school buildings and renovated many others. We look forward to sharing detailed information about this bond initiative with our community.”
