HPISD board hears Bond 2024 progress; projects 90% complete by August 2026
Summary
Interim assistant superintendent Scott Drillette told the Highland Park ISD board that most Bond 2024 projects — including school kitchens, auditoriums and athletic fields — are nearing completion, with about 90% expected by August 2026 and four of seven activity buses due by June 1, 2026.
Scott Drillette, interim assistant superintendent for business services, updated the Highland Park ISD Board of Trustees on the status of Bond 2024 projects at the work session on April 14.
Drillette listed improvements at Highland Park High School (HPHS) — including the kitchen — Armstrong floors, and auditorium and restroom work at MS‑MIS, and said the Softball Stadium and the Scotland Yard baseball field are undergoing upgrades. He reported that seven activity buses were ordered and that four are expected by June 1, 2026, and added, "Approximately 90% of all Bond 2024 projects should be completed by August 2026." Student parking and a practice field remain scheduled for completion in Spring 2027.
The update outlined timelines and near‑term deliveries but included no formal board votes. Drillette described the anticipated annual savings tied to the bus acquisitions — "saving over $400,000 annually" — as part of the presentation. Board members did not take action on the bond items during the session; follow‑up and final completion reports are expected as projects conclude.
