Conroe ISD considers spring break dates Conroe ISD in January asked the public for feedback on whether spring break for the 2025-26 school year should be held the week of March 9 or March 16. What to know In early 2024, the previous CISD board of trustees adopted the 2025-26 school calendar, setting spring break for the week of March 9, which differed from the week set by Lone Star College and other Texas colleges. Hedith Sauceda-Upshaw, the district’s assistant superintendent for teaching and learning, presented the board with a list of calendars for Texas universities and nearby school districts. The District Planning Committee planned to discuss the matter Jan. 15, after press time.

Conroe ISD projects on track despite delays On Dec. 17, the Conroe ISD board of trustees received updates regarding campus construction and improvements planned as part of the district’s $1.9 billion 2023 bond package as well as several from the $653.57 million 2019 bond package. What’s happening Rob Eissler Elementary School, a new elemen- tary school funded by the 2023 bond, will have a 950-student capacity and serve The Woodlands High School feeder zone. According to a presen- tation from Easy Foster, the district’s executive director of planning and construction, work is slightly behind schedule. Construction began in March and will conclude in August 2025, he said. Mittie J. Campbell Elementary School, which will also have a 950-student capacity and serve the Oak Ridge and Caney Creek high school feeder zones, is ahead of schedule, Foster said.
