Representing a cross-section of the community, the district’s Facility Advisory Committee met three times during December and January with nearly 50 members. Parents, teachers, staff, and community members all offered unique perspectives as the group worked to identify potential needs and determine a recommendation for the Board of Trustees regarding a possible bond election. After touring district facilities, reviewing demographic data, learning about school finance and BISD’s historical tax rate, and speaking with administration about academic focus and long-range plans, committee members reached consensus on a list of priorities.
- Campus capacity and growth
- Teacher pay increases
- District transportation improvements
- Congested traffic patterns
- Athletic facility improvements
The group then presented its recommendation to the Board, and Trustees held a special meeting Feb. 18 to call the May election.
