What has Round Rock ISD done so far since voters approved $933M in bonds?

ROUND ROCK, Texas (KXAN) -- In November 2024, voters approved $933 million for Round Rock schools. Six months later, the district said it is making significant progress on various projects.

The funding, which was secured through three bond propositions, is being used for general purposes, technology and fine arts.

The district has already distributed hundreds of new laptops to teachers and is preparing thousands of Chromebooks for students for the new school year.

The bond also funded the construction of a new Career and Technical Education, or CTE, building at 9900 Spectrum Dr., near Parmer and State Highway 45. This facility will offer spaces for teaching auto body, cosmetology, early childhood and electrical trades, and will also serve as a practice area for the district's various robotics teams.

In addition to technology upgrades, the district is relocating its offices from Round Rock High School to the CTE building. This move will allow the high school to expand its facilities.

The district said it is focused on completing these projects promptly.

"We are trying to get all these projects done as soon as possible to avoid escalation of the costs and also we don't know what's going to happen with the tariffs and that can change the cost," Superintendent Dr. Hafedh Azaiez said.

The district said its year one projects are on track, with additional updates such as HVAC improvements planned for the summer.
