body
Houston voters approved the first four phases of the Houston Independent School District (HISD) bond program in 1998, 2002, 2007, and 2012. HISD is proposing a new bond issue that will fund additional identified needs in the district. This agenda item requests School Board approval to call for a Schoolhouse Bond Election to be held with the general election on November 5, 2024; approval of the election order; and authorization to negotiate, execute, and amend related contracts and agreements.
Replacement, renovation, and modernization of numerous HISD schools is needed, and a new bond will provide the necessary funding.
To conduct the election, several contracts will be negotiated to provide polling places, equipment, and support. Approval of this item authorizes the superintendent of schools or a designee to enter into such agreements as needed to carry out the election process.
A copy of the election order is attached.
