The Courier of Montgomery County reports that in order to stay current with capacity issues and aging facilities, the bond committee at Conroe ISD is putting together a potential bond package of almost $2 billion.
At the beginning of the year, trustees okayed a 160-member bond committee to get a process underway to assess Conroe ISD’s $3 billion in needs for the years ahead.
A draft of a bond package is expected from the committee in about a month. In order to get the bond on the November ballot, the board must submit it by August.
During a recent workshop, Superintendent Null presented an update to the board and various staff members on the process underway. The superintendent said there may be up to five propositions put on the ballot.
The largest component of the bond would be Proposition A. This proposition would encompass major renovations, new construction, infrastructure, technology, and transportation and safety. Null said the cap would be $1.8 billion. The propositions as a whole would not go over $2 billion.
According to the media report, information on the bond amounts would not exceed a 3-cent raise in the tax rate of the district.
