Proposition A, at approximately $1.18 billion, includes design and construction updates for seven schools, as well as technology, transportation, safety and security improvements for the district. The district plans to acquire 35 new school buses and build a transportation center.on the current school’s athletic fields. Clements’ foundation is sinking, FBISD said.
Proposition C would authorize spending $22.9 million for a natatorium on the southeast side of the district, an area that currently does not have a swim facility. The students in that section spend time and resources traveling to the district's other two swimming facilities, FBISD said.
