Program Scope

  • Technology ($40 million) funds will update campus instructional technology hardware every five years, upgrade district-wide infrastructure such as the wide area network, fiber and wireless capability and provide for other emerging needs and new technologies. These funds impact all campuses.

  • Renovations/Upgrades ($38 million) funds will convert existing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to geothermal when systems wear out and where it is feasible, resulting in energy savings over time. Also included are upgrades, replacements and repairs related to health, safety and instructional needs, along with vehicles and equipment for the custodial and maintenance departments, and upgrades to irrigation controls which result in efficiency and savings as technology improves. These funds impact almost all campuses (age of campus consideration).

  • Transportation ($12 million) funds will provide for buses to accommodate additional routes as the District adds more schools and 14,000 new students.

  • Construction/Demographics ($7 million) funds will provide for personnel to manage construction projects and to pay for demographic studies and analysis, both components in effective planning and opening schools on time and on or under budget.

  • Security ($3.7 million) funds will replace and upgrade surveillance cameras and servers as they wear out and provide for new security devices and programs as they emerge. These funds impact all schools.

  • Energy Management ($2.5 million) funds will convert old lighting systems to newer standards, which results in energy cost savings and rebates.

Summer 2019 Projects

Technology & Flexible Seating

  • A total of 14 campuses received new classroom and campus instructional technology, and several more received new TVs, phones or network and wireless updates. Others received new library furniture or the library was remodeled. In addition, several elementary campuses received new flexible seating in pod areas, giving teachers and students increased options and greater choice in how to use the space. See a full list. Please note: FISD used 2018-19 maintenance and operations (M&O) funds to supplement 2014 bond funds. This allowed the District to purchase more new computers and mobile devices than campuses refreshed in prior years with 2014 bond funds, increasing the ratio of technology at refreshed campuses and beginning the rollout of the new higher standard of the 2018 bond program a year early. 

Summer 2018 Projects

Technology

  • Many buildings received some sort of technology upgrade, whether it was new computers, mobile devices, projectors, phones, or network and wireless updates. Several schools also received new library furniture or other library updates. Click here for a full breakdown of instructional technology hardware and library and systems enhancements added by campus. Please note: FISD paid for summer 2018 technology projects with surplus maintenance and operations (M&O) funds as opposed to bond funds. While FISD does not expect to routinely pay for these types of assets with M&O funds, it is prudent when possible and frees up bond capacity for longer-term projects.

Renovations/Upgrades
