Progress on the Springtown ISD Voted Bond

Thanks to the support of Springtown ISD voters, we are making exciting progress on the bond projects that will help us accommodate our growing student population, enhance safety and security, and improve learning environments across the district.

Here are a few key updates:

As part of the planning process, our leadership team has been visiting other elementary campuses across the region to gather ideas and identify best practices. In addition, teachers, principals, and district leaders have been actively participating in design meetings led by Huckabee Architects to ensure the new facilities reflect the needs and values of our community.

We are also in the process of implementing major security enhancements, including the installation of over 400 new high-definition security cameras, upgraded access control systems, and expanded emergency visual alert capabilities using the Raptor Badge Alert System.

To stay informed and follow the progress of these bond projects, we invite you to visit our bond updates page:https://www.springtownisd.net/page/springtown-isd-bond

We will continue to provide updates as the work progresses and appreciate your ongoing support in helping us build a stronger future for our students and community.
