Bond Committee's grapple with growth starts tonight
A 250-member Citizens' Bond Committee will meet for the first time tonight from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Northside Activity Center, 7001 Culebra Road.
The committee is tasked with tackling the District's classroom and facility needs to develop a proposal for a possible bond election in May 2010. The committee's recommendation will be presented to the Board of Trustees, which ultimately will vote whether to call a bond election.
Members of the bond committee represent 100 schools as well as neighborhood associations, community groups, businesses and previous bond committees. The committee is expected to meet every Thursday night through Dec. 10.
NISD enrollment, currently at 91,578, is growing by about 3,000 students a year. The District opened four new schools this year and will open five new schools in August 2010, including three elementary schools, a middle school and a high school.
