NEW SCHOOLS TO ACCOMODATE GROWTH (Prop A)

The district is growing and some of its schools are at or near 100% capacity, which means every seat in every classroom on those campuses is full. In addition to the rebuilds at Briargate Elementary, Mission Bend Elementary and Clements High School, Proposition A constructs a middle school, an elementary school and converts an existing facility into a new elementary school. The schools would be built to the district’s new standards for energy efficiency, safety and security, and modern learning spaces. State standards have evolved and some of our oldest schools have classrooms and other spaces that are too small or inadequate according to present-day standards.

New Middle School 16
$82,000,000
A new middle school supporting 1,400 students will address growth in the FM 521 corridor. The campus will include learning communities for each grade level along with dedicated collaboration areas to promote group and individual instruction and study.

New Elementary School 55
$46,084,317
A new elementary school supporting 1,000 students will address growth in the Harvest Green area. The new campus will include the latest state and district standards, providing spaces to support growth and student development with an art room, music room, gymnasium, library/learning center, collaboration spaces, large group instruction and extended learning areas, plus outdoor learning spaces and fenced-in play areas.

Ferndell Henry Conversion to Elementary School 56
$18,000,000
Ferndell Henry Center for Learning would be renovated and repurposed as a 1,000-student elementary school to support growth in the FM 521 corridor. The new campus will include a 12-classroom addition, an art room, music room, gymnasium, collaboration spaces, plus new playgrounds and outdoor learning spaces.
