According to Lubbock ISD, the bond will fund three new elementary school campuses, two middle school additions, infrastructure upgrades across the district, and expanded facilities for LISD’s career and technical education programs in middle school.

The Texas House Public Education committee advanced the proposal for House Bill 3, allocating $10,000 each in public funds for parents to pay for private schools and other approved educational expenses. The program, known as Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) or school choice vouchers, now moves on to the full House for a vote.
