The Splendora Independent School District Board of Trustees voted 5-0 June 23 to select Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam, Inc., as the program manager for projects tied to the district’s 2025 bond, including Junior High School No. 2, district support services, the Splendora High School auditorium and related renovations. The vote took place at a special meeting at the district administration building in Splendora.

The selection matters because a program manager coordinates planning, scheduling and contract management for multiple bond-funded construction and renovation projects. Approval gives the district an external manager to oversee delivery of the identified 2025 bond projects.

The motion to approve Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam, Inc., was made by Trustee Barry Welch and seconded by Trustee Kimberly Klepcyk. The motion passed with a recorded tally of five votes in favor and none opposed; two trustees were absent. The district’s meeting notice and minutes list the vote simply as “For: 5, Against: 0.”
