On February 16, 2023, the Fort Bend ISD Board of Trustees called for a bond election to be considered by the community in the May 6, 2023 election. The bond will fund major projects throughout the district, enhancing every campus in Fort Bend ISD except schools that are newly constructed. The district has not had a bond in five years, and as a result, some of its 82 campuses are rated in “critical condition” due to outdated mechanical, plumbing, roofing, electrical and HVAC systems that are beyond reasonable repair. Projects included in the bond are: • Rebuilding Clements High School • Rebuilding Briargate Elementary • Rebuilding Mission Bend Elementary • Construction of Middle School 16 in the southeast area • Construction of Elementary 55 in the northwest area • Renovations and additions at Ferndell Henry Center for Learning for conversion into an elementary school • New Buses • Transportation Smart Tag System to allow parents to track bus riders • New security cameras at schools • New IT network and replacement of aging classroom technology and devices • Police vehicles
Did You Know… School districts do not receive state funding for building schools, renovating them or replacing things like worn-out roofs, heating and air conditioning, plumbing and electrical systems. Bonds approved by voters pay for the projects.
