Bond Steering Committee

The bond proposal was developed by the Bond Steering Committee (BSC) which was formed to study the rapid growth and facility needs in the district and to make a recommendation to the board of trustees. The 25-member committee was comprised of parents, community members, business partners; and TISD educators. The BSC was tasked with keeping within a framework of eight charges, including; considering the educational needs of all students, facility needs based on growth, support for all programs – co-curricular and extracurricular, balancing educational goals against taxpayer resources, while keeping community values in mind.

The committee analyzed current enrollment, school capacities, and demographic projections; studied the state’s school funding process and district financial data; toured campuses, evaluated future facility needs, and prioritized projects. Following months of review, discussion and consideration, the committee presented its recommendations to the TISD Board on January 13.
