Spring ISD calls bond election in fall

The Spring ISD board unanimously agreed to ask voters in November to approve a $330 million bond package to meet capital and other needs.

A bond steering committee of more than 70 members met six times over the summer to make recommendations on what should be included, the district said in a news release.

If approved by voters, the bond package would pay for construction of two new middle schools, development of three ninthgrade centers (one at each of the district’s comprehensive high schools) and construction of a districtwide stadium.

It’s been nearly a decade since Spring ISD, which serves some 37,000 students 20 miles north of Houston, called for a bond. The referendum will be Nov. 8, with early voting starting Oct. 24 and ending Nov. 4.
