Notable Accomplishments 2008/2009 – Design and Construction ► Completed over $188 million worth of new facility or renovation bond projects this past year equating to approximately 1 million square feet or an addition of approximately 10% to the overall District facility square footage. The major projects completed this year were: Cardiff Junior High WoodCreek Junior High Bonnie Holland Elementary Morton Ranch Elementary Morton Ranch High School Ninth Grade Center Mayde Creek Elementary – Addition and Renovations Sundown Elementary – Addition and Renovations Winborn Elementary – Renovations Miller Career and Technology Center – Addition and Renovations OAC/Raines/BTP – Addition and Renovations Mayde Creek High School – New Natatorium Taylor High School Baseball – Addition and Renovations Katy High School Baseball, Weight Room, Concession – Additions and Renovations East Transportation – Addition and Renovations

Notable Accomplishments All projects completed on time within approved budget allocations. Heavy rains during the summer of 2007 resulted in a four month delay on construction related to new school projects. Excellent project management enabled the completion of these projects on schedule. Additional beneficial projects were completed out of bond savings. Major logistics planning was required to accomplish existing school renovation projects (MCE, SE, DWE, MCTC/OAC) over ten weeks in the summer. Major land acquisitions over the year included 161 acres for an elementary, junior high, and high school in the north/central sector of the District and 13.7 acres for a new elementary school in the Cinco S/W development. Stan C. Stanley Elementary School (No. 32) is on schedule for an August 2009 opening. November 2008 marked the seventh and final meeting for the 2006 Bond Review committee. Committee members were given regular updates during the extent of the bond program. The Facilities Organization continues to be viewed as a Facility Masters District by ASBO (Association of School Business Officials International) and is referred as a resource to other Districts around the nation.
