AISD ramps up bond-funded modernization
Friday, May 24, 2024 by Elizabeth Pagano
This month kicked off a number of groundbreaking and construction ceremonies for projects funded by 2022 bonds. Williams, Cook, Wooten and Harris elementary schools and the Sadler Means Young Women’s Leadership Academy are now undergoing modernization projects funded by the historic $2.44 billion in bonds. The money will also go toward improving safety, technology, buildings and athletic facilities across the district, with 25 campuses slated for modernization projects. “By modernizing these schools, we’re making a tremendous impact on the learning environment and improving the experience of students for generations to come,” said Austin ISD Superintendent Matias Segura in a statement to the press. “Every campus will be uniquely designed by and for the communities they serve. It has been amazing to see such hands-on involvement to customize the needs of these schools.” More information about the 2022 bond program can be found at www.AISDFuture.com.
