CCISD 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. Additionally, Houston Elementary School would be renovated to house Houston students as well as those from Fannin and Travis elementary schools. The bond allocates $3M for district-wide fine arts upgrades, adds a gym at Haas Middle School, and provides $30M for King High School renovations, along with renovations to Moody and Veterans Memorial high schools.
