Proposition B would fund the con- struction of a new academic and per- formance center that would be used for district events, such as graduation and convocation; academic, athletic and performing arts events; UIL com- petitions; and expos. Focused on technology advance- ments, Proposition C would allocate funds for initiatives such as replac- ing teacher laptops, adding laptop charging stations to classrooms, upgrading computer labs, enhancing districtwide cybersecurity and updat- ing the district’s telephone system.

Proposition A will help ensure the safety of SISD students and sta. “We believe that all the components in its entirety are vital to this commu- nity and its campuses,” Johnson said at an Aug. 9 board meeting. “Connec- tivity issues and updating the newer technology at the older campuses needs to be addressed so each campus will meet the state’s new standards and will also be [as] safe as possible.” Districtwide additions SISD’s other two bond propositions—B and C—account for 16.6% and 3.3% of the total bond funds, respectively.
