FACILITY PLANNING COMMITTEE
The Hermleigh ISD Board of Trustees established the Facility Planning Committee as part of its long-term planning process to evaluate district facilities and consider potential improvements for a future bond election. The committee included both district staff and community members, bringing together a broad range of perspectives from individuals with children in the district as well as those without.
Over the course of several meetings from December 2025 through February 2026, the committee reviewed facility conditions, toured district campuses, studied identified deficiencies, discussed possible solutions, and evaluated candidate projects alongside projected costs. The committee’s work focused on understanding facility needs and identifying the best balance between district priorities and community resources.
As part of the process, committee members ranked projects using four key considerations: urgency and need, benefit to students, community impact, and overall value. After reviewing 34 candidate projects and narrowing those recommendations to 18 priority projects, the committee presented its recommendation to the Hermleigh ISD Board of Trustees.
Based on the committee’s recommendation, the Board called a school bond election in the amount of $12,000,000. The proposed bond package includes improvements at Hermleigh Commons, Hermleigh Elementary, Hermleigh Secondary, and other district facilities, with a total estimated project cost of $11,981,639.
