During the July 16 board workshop meeting, members of the Houston ISD administration shared a detailed presentation on the $4.4 billion bond creation process.
District officials identified priorities and grouped them into three investment buckets, and allotted the following amounts to each bucket:
- Addressing safety & health = $1.1 billion
- Making schools “Future Ready” = $1.1 billion
- Restoring district schools = $2.2 billion
The following possible categories were prioritized for inclusions:
- Safety and Security upgrades
- HVAC and air quality improvement
- Lead abatement
- Police and security equipment/facilities
- CTE facilities
- PreK spaces
- Technology upgrades
- Facilities construction and improvement
The board will vote in August on whether the bond proposal will be placed on the November ballot.
