Waller ISD voters approve $49.29 million bond election
May 12, 2007
Waller ISD (WISD) voters approved the sale of $49.29 million worth of school
bonds that will fund the construction of a new elementary school, conversion
of Waller Junior High (WJH) and Schultz Middle School (SMS) to 6-8 grade
campuses, addition of office space for technology, renovations on all seven
existing campuses, technology improvements, purchase school buses, and the
construction a new District stadium. A total of 1215 votes were cast in the
election: 769 for and 446 against.
On behalf of the all students, present and future, the WISD Board of
Trustees, administration, and staff would like to say “Thank you Waller” for
your overwhelming show of support.
“I want to personally take time to thank all the community for your
role and support in the passage of this bond election which will benefit our
community and all the children Waller ISD serves,” WISD Superintendent
Richard McReavy said.
Construction on the new District stadium will begin following the last
home football game in late October 2007. The stadium is slated to be
complete and ready to open in fall 2008. All other projects including the
new elementary school (site to be determined), conversion of WJH and SMS to
6-8 grade campuses, addition of office space for technology, renovations on
all seven existing campuses, and technology improvements are scheduled to be
complete and open in fall 2009.
