Election results for Houston ISD’s record $4.4 billion bond proposal

Decision 2024 - HISD Bond (Copyright 2024 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.)

HOUSTON – On November 5, 2024, voters in the Houston Independent School District decided the fate of the district’s historic $4.4 million bond proposal.

The bond proposal, titled “Renew HISD,” was one of the largest bond packages in Texas history.

Voters rejected the bond.

Half of the money, about $2 billion, would have been used for building and renovating campuses.

About $1.3 billion would go towards “investing in every school” such as updating HVAC systems, which has been an ongoing issue. It forced the closure of several schools in May following severe thunderstorms and also at the beginning of this school year when some classrooms were too hot or A/C systems went down.

Another billion dollars would have been spent on career and technical education, including expanding the district’s early childhood Pre-K program.

The district says money from the bond would have helped with security and limit the number of ways visitors can get into a school -- down to just one checkpoint.
