The CHISD elementary playground projects were intentionally separated from the larger bond program to ensure they could be completed on an accelerated timeline. By pulling the playgrounds out as their own dedicated effort, the District was able to focus resources, streamline construction, and guarantee safe, fully updated play spaces for students. This approach ensured that all elementary campuses had finished playgrounds ready for use by the start of the 2025–2026 school year, providing students with a welcoming and engaging place to play from day one. 

The Board approved Dikita Enterprises as the Project Manager for the 2024 May Bond projects.
