(FORT BEND ISD) – According to the unofficial results, voters have approved all three of Fort Bend ISD’s bond propositions, totaling $1.2 billion. The official canvassing of the election will take place in a special called meeting of the Fort Bend ISD Board of Trustees on Monday, May 15 at 5:30 p.m. Officials say approval of the bond will result in an estimated impact of $2.50 per month on the average home valued at $300,000.
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has not had a bond in five years, and as a result some of its 82 campuses are rated in “critical condition” due to outdated plumbing, roofing, electrical and HVAC systems.
Projects included in the bond are rebuilding older schools, constructing new campuses, and making major repairs at existing campuses, plus replacing older buses and adding a Smart Tag System to allow parents to track bus riders. The bond also includes IT systems and devices, campus security and a natatorium in the southeast area of the district.
