- Results from a demographic update presented January 10, 2024 by College Station-based Population and Survey Analysts (PASA); covering projected new housing starts, population increases, attendance projections, and more.
- Information on district needs to sustain growth
- Current attendance numbers
- Information on projected tax increases at various bond amounts (presented by Leon Alcala, PLLC, (education focused tax attorney)
After the presentations, the participating committee members broke into small groups to consider the information and hear various viewpoints. They studied district growth, facility and other needs identified by administration or committee members, and related financial considerations.

November 2024 Bond
Three community meetings were held on August 9, 15 and 18, 2024. The discussions held that led to the decision to continue the bond efforts at the November polls, was the low voter turnout from May 2024, the fact that it is a presidential year and more people will be at the polls, plus the need for a district timeline and more pictures of proposed projects. The Board of Trustees called the bond election at the regular meeting on August 19, 2024.
