3. What is Bond Initiative 2010? It’s a process of identifying current and future facility improvements: • District determines that there are enough major renovations, need for new school(s), and facility improvements to move forward with a study. • District hires a Demographer to project growth over next 10 years, evaluate growth patterns, and recommend areas of improvement. • Board of Trustees builds a community based task force to evaluate need by visiting campuses, talking with staff, and evaluating “best practices” by visiting other school districts. • Harlingen CISD called this community task force a Future Facility Needs Committee with subcommittees that looked at Elementary Schools and Facilities, Secondary Schools and Facilities, Other Facilities, Finance, and Technology.

4. What is Bond Initiative 2010? continued It’s a process of identifying current and future facility improvements: • Future Facility Needs Committee evaluated facilities improvements to finalize a project list of their recommendations and then presented to the Board of Trustees. • Board of Trustees asks voters for permission to sell bonds to finance construction projects and major purchases such as building additions/renovations, new schools, and facilities. • School district repays bonds over extended period of time from the debt service fund. • District is not required to build bond projects but funds cannot be used for different purposes without voter approval.
