The record-breaking bond would help one of the fastest-growing districts in the state with new technology, classrooms, and more.
Conroe ISD is urging voters to approve nearly $2 billion in bond proposals to add new schools and renovations to help the fast-growing district.The Conroe Independent School District is asking voters to approve nearly $2 billion in bond proposals to keep up with the historic growth there.
"We will not have room at Conroe High School for 7,500-plus students," principal Dr. Tasha Smith said. The first and largest of the four proposals includes eight new schools, including a new Conroe-area high school, major renovations at five schools, additions at three schools, and the next phase of master plans at two schools.
"We're using hundreds of portable buildings for our classrooms now," Superintendent Dr. Curtis Null said. "As we continue to grow, we would reach a point, truthfully, where we could not place any more portable buildings." Nearly 70% of voters approved a $487 million bond referendum in 2015 that added schools, rooms, and equipment at Conroe ISD. Voters approved a $687 million bond referendum in November 2019 for various projects and voted against a second proposal to add artificial turf to several athletic fields.
