The Rockport-Fulton Independent School District (RFISD) held a regular school board meeting on March 20, 2025, where significant updates on ongoing construction projects were shared, highlighting the district's commitment to enhancing educational facilities for local students.

One of the key topics discussed was the progress of the Rockport Fulton High School renovation, which is currently 48% complete. The project, with an authorized budget of $18.9 million out of a total of $39.2 million, is on track for substantial completion by December 2025. The meeting revealed that construction activities are advancing rapidly, with masonry installation and interior drywall work well underway. The ability to continue work despite weather conditions has allowed multiple trades to collaborate on-site, ensuring efficient progress.

In addition to the high school updates, the board also addressed the near completion of the Full Elementary School project, which is 88% finished. With an authorized budget of $11.3 million out of $12.87 million, the project is expected to wrap up by the end of April. The new dining area is already in use, and the construction of a new classroom wing is nearing completion. The board noted that the demolition of the old dining area is progressing, making way for additional classrooms to accommodate growing student needs.

The meeting also touched on improvements to parking facilities, with new concrete parking spaces being added along Fifth Street to alleviate congestion and enhance accessibility for parents and visitors.

As these projects move forward, the RFISD continues to prioritize the educational environment for its students, ensuring that facilities meet modern standards and support effective learning. The board's discussions reflect a proactive approach to addressing community needs and enhancing the overall educational experience in Rockport-Fulton.
