Flour Bluff ISD Provides Update on Bond 2025 Projects

Flour Bluff ISD is moving forward with significant improvements funded through Bond 2025. These projects are designed to enhance educational facilities, athletic programs, and community resources, while maintaining a strong focus on student safety and fiscal responsibility.

Bond 2025 Construction Underway

Hellas Construction has begun work on the district’s baseball and softball fields. Grass and dirt have been cleared, batting cages removed, and turf selection is in progress. The project is scheduled for completion in January 2026 and will provide year-round play, reduced water usage, and lower maintenance costs.

New Buses Have Arrived

Five new International IC CE Series Buses have arrived and are being prepared for service. They will soon provide Hornet students with safer, efficient, and comfortable transportation to and from school and activities.

Construction Manager Selected

The Board of Trustees has approved Weaver and Jacobs as the Construction Manager for major projects, including the new Career and Technology Education spaces, Fine Arts Addition, New Gymnasium, Early Childhood Center Addition, and renovations at Hornet Stadium. Engaging a construction manager at this stage helps ensure that projects remain on budget and on schedule as they transition from design to construction.

Tennis Court Resurfacing

The Board has also approved CourTex to resurface the district’s tennis courts. This project will enhance athletic opportunities for students and provide upgraded facilities for community tennis and pickleball use.

Auditorium Upgrades

Sound Vibrations has begun installing a new sound system in the district auditorium. This upgrade, scheduled for completion in October 2025, will significantly improve sound quality for performances, assemblies, and community events.

Traffic Study Update

Engineers from Pape-Dawson are conducting a comprehensive traffic study, utilizing advanced computer simulations to analyze current patterns and explore potential improvements. The study’s primary objective is to enhance traffic flow while prioritizing student safety, particularly for those walking and biking to school.
