The Houston Independent School District (HISD) announced in May it is seeking a $4.4 billion bond aimed at addressing critical infrastructure and educational needs. Branded as “Renew HISD,” the package would rebuild and modernize over 40 campuses, upgrade HVAC systems, improve campus security and expand early childhood and career and technical education programs. As the district was preparing its proposal, the Kinder Institute for Urban Research fielded survey questions to understand public support for the bond.
