The Conroe ISD trustees approved more than $340 million in financing for several significant projects, including the construction of Timber Mill High School in Conroe, which is estimated to cost $307 million, during a meeting on Tuesday. Joeris General Contractors Inc., an Austin-based organization, was appointed as the construction manager at risk earlier this year.
In addition to the construction of the new high school, trustees authorized funding for the renovation of numerous district facilities and the construction of a state-of-the-art agriculture barn. The district's extensive bond initiative, which was approved by voters last year, includes these projects.
Conroe ISD has issued $595 million in bonds to date, which has facilitated the commencement of numerous initiatives throughout the district. In January, an additional $600 million in bonds is scheduled to be issued to finance forthcoming developments.
The district's rapid growth and evolving requirements were strategically addressed through the strategic use of bond funds, as emphasized by Chief Financial Officer Karen Garza. New school construction is allocated approximately $1 billion of the bond funds, while $132 million is allocated for significant facility renovations and $22 million is for new buses and infrastructure.
This expansion is indicative of Conroe ISD's dedication to the provision of modern, efficient facilities to accommodate its expanding student body and specialized programs.
