Bond 2018 Project Proposals

The New Caney ISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved calling for a bond election for May 5, 2018. The Board will seek $200 million in bonds for school construction and school replacement, including the district's third comprehensive high school. 

$200 Million Bond


Proposed projects would be focused on schools, adding approximately 2,340 student seats across the elementary, middle, and high school levels. Proposed projects include:

  • Comprehensive High School No. 3 (1,350 seats expandable to 2,250)
  • Replace Keefer Crossing Middle School (450 additional seats in new school)
  • Replace Porter Elementary School (180 additional seats in new school)
  • Addition to Woodridge Forest Middle School (360 additional seats after addition)

The school district partnered with engineering, planning and program management services firm Lockwood, Andrews, & Newman during the past year to conduct a facilities condition assessment, develop construction design standards, and complete a long range facilities plan. A planning committee, comprised of parents, community members, and district staff, produced a long range facility report for the Board of Trustees in which potential projects were identified and prioritized based on campus capacities and demographic studies, condition of the district’s facilities, and instructional program considerations. 

New Caney ISD is one of the fastest growing school districts in the greater Houston area and the entire state, growing by more than 30% over the last five years. Recent demographic studies project continued student enrollment growth in the coming years.
