Bond 2022 Overview
Campus Renovations and Bond History:
Tyler Independent School District has been able to renovate and rebuild 22 campuses with the passing of 2004, 2008, 2013, and 2017 Bond Programs.
The new campuses contain elements that are energy efficient and have helped the district control utility costs. The buildings feature increased security and safety measures, including enclosed corridors, controlled entrances, and digital video surveillance systems. Technology is in place throughout the schools, including computer stations, high-definition LCD screens, and wireless connectivity.
The 2004 and 2008 bond packages were the first two phases of the District’s facilities master plan, with Phase 3 and 4 completed with the 2013 and 2017 bond packages. The 5th phase is currently being presented to voters for consideration. The Phase 5 bond proposal includes the construction of a NEW Hubbard Middle School and a NEW Early College High School.
Bond 2017
The last bond referendum passed in 2017. The bond referendum totaled $198,000,000. The 2017 bond package provided for remodeling and additions to Tyler’s two flagship high schools. Approximately 5,000 students are in new or renovated spaces.
The high school projects began construction on time, were completed on time, and were completed under budget. The new facilities demonstrated an increase in security and safety measures by providing enclosed corridors, controlled entrances at reception areas, video surveillance cameras, alarm systems, and card access control at all entrance points.
