Early voting begins, ballot includes Bond 2024
Package would not affect residents’ tax rate
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.
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 2027. 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 electronic 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 and a dedicated weight room to accommodate growth on the city’s southside and the schools’ new Coast Guard JROTC unit.
