Wimberley ISD narrows bond planning as facility task force weighs May election
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Bonewald updated trustees on facility planning, proposed campus improvements and budget evaluation; the facility task force is exploring land acquisition and the Board discussed whether to prioritize a May bond election to speed project starts.
Superintendent Dr. Bonewald updated the Board of Trustees on the Facility Needs Task Force's work with AGCM and O'Connell Robertson, outlining proposed campus facility updates, academic improvements and ongoing budget evaluation. He said the task force is also exploring options to acquire additional land for a future campus site.
Board member Andrea Justus asked whether the district should prioritize a May versus November bond election. Dr. Bonewald told trustees that targeting a May election would affect project initiation and completion timelines if voters approve a bond, making timing a consequential decision for project scheduling.
The task force membership includes Wimberley ISD staff, community members and outside consultants, and planners are still estimating a potential bond total based on project costs. No bond amount or election date was set; the discussion was preparatory as staff continue to refine cost estimates and land needs ahead of a future recommendation to the board.
