Students, Educators and Taxpayers Help Shape Nov. 3 Bond Proposal
Facility Planning Committee helps guide project recommendations
Local students, parents, staff and community leaders formed a Facility Planning Committee to study facilities districtwide, hear from financial advisors and ultimately make a recommendation to the Graham ISD School Board. The committee was charged with evaluating the district’s capital improvement needs and providing input and guidance to the Board of Trustees on the development of a five-year Long-Range Facility Plan. The group met during the fall 2025 semester through May 2026, ultimately recommending the Board of Trustees consider a $60 million bond package.
Committee Meetings
- Meetings will be open to the public, but are not for the public. Anyone wishing to attend can sit in the designated audience seating area. Public comments, however, are reserved for designated times during official GISD School Board meetings and will not be allowed during Facility Planning Committee meetings.
- If GISD Board members attend any meetings as observers, they will be a part of the audience and not be involved in committee discussion in accordance with Texas Open Meetings laws.
- Meetings will be held on a regular basis until the committee’s work is complete.
- Ultimately, a final Long-Range Facility Plan (a written report or presentation of recommendations) will be presented to the Board and Administration and posted to the website for public review.
