Proposition A: Construction 

• • High Pointe Elementary Fine Arts Academy – Construction was completed in Summer 2026 and all new furniture and equipment were delivered and installed in time for the start of the 2026–2027 school year. The Bond Team is now working with the Architect and Contractor to complete the project’s final closeout process.

• • L. Kim Lewis Auxiliary Services Center/Transportation Facility – The design team has completed the 100% Construction Documents.

Proposition A: Non- Construction 

Technology Upgrades 

As part of the 2024 Bond Program, Cedar Hill ISD is investing in technology to strengthen infrastructure, enhance cybersecurity, and support engaging, future-ready classrooms.

Proposition A includes improvements to the District’s technology infrastructure, including expanded network capacity, increased internet speeds, enhanced cybersecurity, and upgrades to classroom technology. These investments support reliable connectivity and the effective use of instructional technology across campuses.

Transportation Fleet Improvements

Cedar Hill ISD continues to invest in transportation to support the needs of its scholars. Seven buses were purchased in Fall 2025 and delivered in January 2026, including three 54-passenger buses and four 77-passenger buses.

An additional 10 buses were purchased in May 2026, including three 54-passenger Special Education (SPED) buses and seven 77-passenger buses. All 10 buses were received in August 2026, further strengthening the District’s transportation fleet and supporting safe, reliable student transportation.

Proposition B: Technology Devices

Technology purchases in August 2024 included interactive whiteboards, document cameras, and updated devices for students and staff. These resources help enhance classroom instruction, promote engagement, and provide scholars and educators with tools to support teaching and learning.

Together, these investments are improving technology reliability and connectivity while helping create modern, secure, and innovative learning environments throughout the District.

Investing in Our Future

Cedar Hill ISD remains committed to transparent communication, responsible stewardship of bond funds, and keeping our community informed as these projects progress. Every improvement reflects our commitment to providing safe, modern and inspiring learning environments for all scholars.

The 2024 Bond Program represents more than buildings, renovations, and equipment. It is an investment in the future, opportunities and success of every scholar we serve.
