The Sheldon Independent School District Board of Trustees heard a detailed bond and facilities update that included construction progress on a new 9th–10th grade campus, planned roadway improvements and a range of maintenance projects.

District facilities staff reported the 9th–10th campus has broken ground and that slab‑on‑grade pours are scheduled in coming weeks. The district plans road improvements tied to the project, including adding a turn lane at Community Drive where it meets CE King Parkway and installing a traffic signal at that intersection to improve access and circulation for the new campus. Those plans are intended to coordinate with the city’s permitting and impact‑fee processes.

The administration also presented an annexation addendum for the 10th‑grade campus to account for future water and wastewater needs, and described an ongoing detention‑pond review at the Holy Trinity property the district purchased last summer. District staff said the pond is shared with two adjacent apartment complexes and a forthcoming maintenance agreement will describe cost sharing and responsibilities.

Board members were shown preliminary floor‑plan concepts for consolidating programs at the Holy Trinity site — proposals would centralize special education, CTE, multilingual programs, guidance and counseling, and create a large staff‑development area and stage for community events. The presentation said the packet includes an opinion of probable cost and that the district is still refining parking and circulation, including adding roughly 50 parking spaces to support evening events and staff development.

Safety upgrades were flagged as a priority. District staff said they are working with city representatives to add sidewalks on CE King Parkway north of Tidwell and in pedestrian corridors that serve Carroll Elementary and the high‑school area; the district is also exploring flashing‑light school‑zone signage at prioritized campuses. Those measures were described as urgent after the presentation noted a recent fatal traffic crash on CE King Parkway tied to an evasive maneuver involving a coyote.

Other bond projects discussed included roofing and repairs at King Middle School, fencing at Royal Wood, HVAC work at Garrett, Ag Barn renovations (lighting, gate, fans and speaker system), and ongoing facility‑condition assessments intended to prioritize future bond spending.

The board did not take final action on large site‑plan changes during the excerpted remarks; presenters said additional architect presentations and action items (including sole‑source TEA Chapter 61 compliance services) will appear on upcoming agendas for formal approval.
