Hays CISD greenlights 2025 bond projects Efforts to improve Simon Middle School, along with Hemphill, Kyle and Tom Green elementary schools, are underway to expand capacity as the district grows. Hays CISD trustees approved the guaran- teed maximum prices, or GMPs, for the four projects at a May 19 meeting. Digging deeper Following voter approval of the 2025 Bond Proposition A with 60% support, HCISD will fund these improvement projects. Hemphill, Kyle and Tom Green elemen- taries will see upgrades to expand capacity to accommodate 900 students, according to district documents. Simon Middle School’s project includes expanding the campus to serve 1,200 stu- dents and adding turf to the campus field.

Breaking it down Phase one will include a new parking lot, band pad and administration building renovations. Phase two will include band hall and black box additions, and performance area renovations. The final phase will include special education room renovations and a new classroom.
