Comal ISD presents bond progress, launches interactive 'Bond at Work' schedules
Summary
District staff reported progress on Bond 2021 and Bond 2023 projects, citing completion or active work on multiple campuses, budget-to-date figures, and a new interactive web schedule updated daily for public transparency.
Comal ISD staff updated trustees June 25 on progress across the bond 2021 and bond 2023 portfolios and introduced a new public 'Bond at Work' web feature that publishes project schedules and a financial dashboard refreshed daily at 7 a.m.
Bond program lead Mark Stahl said bond 2021 is moving toward program closeout with most projects completed or active; specific projects include a JROTC/CTE building at Canyon High School with construction scheduled to begin this summer and completion targeted for August 2027. Financial presenter Ginny Hale reported that voters approved $445.8 million in November 2021 and the district has spent about $393 million to date.
Staff also outlined bond 2023 activity (approved May 2023 for $558.6 million), including Major Middle School on track for summer 2027 completion and various system packages (HVAC upgrades, roofing, lighting) that are advancing. Hale said approximately $270 million, or 48% of bond 2023, had been incurred as of the update.
Trustees praised the new transparency tools and asked questions about design commonality, HVAC systems, and timelines; staff said they will continue to publish schedules and financials online for stakeholder review.
