If the bond passes next month, new schools will be built, and improvements will be made to others, including upgraded security and modern classrooms.
Proposition A is the big one, coming in at $1.1 billion that would help with new schools, renovations, and upgrades to safety and security.
Proposition B is all about technology devices for students and staff. If Proposition C passes, nearly $23 million will be set aside for a second district natatorium."If you look at the inflation that we've all been dealing with - the $990 million that it was in 2018 - is somewhat comparable to a $1.26 that we're having now," Whitbeck said.
"There's more need actually in the deficiencies at the campuses. More need for roofs. More need for chillers, HVACs, and systems that can fail. And so, proportionally, it's really right on target," she continued.Fort Bend County voters can head to the polls on Saturday, May 6, to make the decision on this bond. They'll have the option to vote for each proposition separately.
