High Island ISD is asking voters to approve a $27.9 million bond to address aging infrastructure, including replacing the district’s 76-year-old elementary school and demolishing unsafe buildings. The aging elementary school, built in 1948, has outdated systems and requires costly repairs, while the condemned buildings pose safety concerns.
If passed, the bond would fund a new 49,000-square-foot facility, a new school bus to update transportation, and the demolition of three condemned metal buildings. District officials emphasize that the bond would not raise the current tax rate.
Superintendent David Walker stated this investment is critical to providing a safe, modern learning environment for our students.
