The Cy-Fair ISD board will consider calling a May 2 bond election during its upcoming February meetings after trustees receive a final recommendation from the district’s Long Range Planning Committee.

The big picture

CFISD formed the Long Range Planning Committee in late September with the goal of developing a six-year plan addressing infrastructure needs, student enrollment and campus efficiency. Committee representatives will propose the final plan to the board Feb. 5, according to agenda documents.

The committee met twice per month through the end of January to develop its recommendation, per the district’s website.

LRPC Co-Chair Anya Lucas presented a breakdown of approximately $1.75 billion in infrastructure improvements to the board Jan. 15, with high priorities identified as vehicle replacements, fine arts renovations and athletics upgrades, among others, Community Impact previously reported.

The committee will likely recommend that the district call a bond election to fund the recommended investments, as CFISD has not proposed a bond to voters since 2019. The board’s February agenda includes a report on the status of the 2019 bond, a $1.76 billion referendum that funded a lengthy list of construction projects.

Following the final recommendation, the board will consider calling a bond election for May 2, agenda documents show. Texas law mandates that bond elections must be held at the beginning of May or November.
