Mapping it out
What they said
Travis McGuire, an AISD parent and a member of the CAC, called the proposal in a Sept. 27 email “an essential investment in the future of our community.” “AISD has seen significant growth for over a decade, and that trend is going to continue,” he said. “Many of our schools simply will not have the space to continue providing the level of education our kids deserve.” Sarah Lee, a parent of two AISD children, said she is skeptical about adding more schools and feels like the district is struggling to maintain current campuses. “I feel like a lot of the schools are getting run down and needing help,” she said. “[The district] wants to keep getting new nice things and building new nice things, and not putting money where it needs to go.”
Development on the west side is creating a need for more schools in the district.

AISD’s board of trustees called for the bond in June. If voters approve it in November, district documents show the projects could go on through 2031, with the first bid and permitting starting in mid-2025. The last project expected to be completed if the timeline
holds is the work at Alvin High School. The timeline would be close to the same amount of time as the 2018 bond, which wrapped up six years after it was passed, documents show.
