Corpus Christi ISD is asking residents to approve bonds to help build a new Southside elementary school and make renovations in other campuses.
It's listed as Proposition A on the ballot.
The bond package, which totals $135, 410,000, would include a new Southside elementary campus that would be built next to the current Yeager Elementary on Tripoli Drive near the old Carroll High School. Once that campus is built, the district will consolidate Kostoryz, Sanders, and Yeager Elementary schools. If voters approve the bond, the new school would open in August 2026.
The bond package also calls for renovations to Houston Elementary School. Once those renovations are complete, the district will consolidate Houston, Fannin, and Travis Elementary schools.
At the high school level, the district will allocate $30 million to renovate King High School. Due to the city's growth on the Southside, the district plans to add eight classrooms at Veterans Memorial High School.
Here's a look at what will also be included in the Bond 2024 package:
- Build a second gym at Haas Middle School
- Renovate restrooms, locker rooms and corridors at Moody High School
- Dedicated weight room at Veterans Memorial High School
- Upgrade fine arts capability, including improved stage lighting, high school projectors, and elective screens
- Replace aging band equipment
- Expand the district's band instrument inventory
Superintendent Dr. Roland Hernandez said this bond package would benefit the most students and staff without increasing the tax rate.
