Constructing the Future
of the Columbus Community
Columbus ISD is thrilled to announce voters APPROVED the CISD May 2024 School Bond Propositions A & B. This bond will provide funding for much-needed additions and renovations to existing facilities, as well as the equipment and construction of a brand new Career and Technology Education (CTE) Vocational Trades building. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to voters for supporting this bond. Your approval of this bond will have a positive impact on our students, staff, and community for years to come.
We understand voters may be curious about the progress of projects as they are implemented. We also want to keep members of our community informed every step of the way, so we will provide project updates, answers to frequently asked questions, and more through this website!
