Priority projects
The following projects were labeled as “district must- dos” in Citizen Advisory Committee documents.
FISD officials released a survey to community members Nov. 19. The survey asked respondents: • Whether the respondent voted for or against the bond package • What changes the respondent would like to see for a future bond proposal • What specific projects would be supported These survey responses, which were not available as of press time, along with district findings of which needs are most critical throughout the district, will determine a potential bond package in the future, said Lauren Traina, FISD’s executive director of communications. “The community has needs as well, and I’m hoping with the survey it builds trust that they are given a platform to use their voice, because we do want to move forward together,” she said. A number of priority maintenance needs were labeled as “district must-dos” in CAC documents. While it is not set in stone, these projects—totaling
After FISD officials and the board of trustees receive feedback from the community, the board will meet Jan. 12 to plan the district’s next steps, which may include a potential bond proposal. At a Nov. 17 board workshop, district officials presented the following options for potential bond elections, should the district decide to ask for another bond: • May 2026 • November 2026 • May 2027 Superintendent Thad Roher said the district will take in feedback from community members to determine what the district does next. “Part of the whole educational process is a cycle of continuous improvement,” he said. “You start with data, you put an action plan in place, you reevaluate, and then you get back in again.”
