District hires a Demographer to project growth over next 10 years, evaluate growth patterns, and recommend areas of improvement. Board of Trustees builds a community based task force to evaluate need by visiting campuses, talking with staff, and evaluating “best practices” by visiting other school districts. Harlingen CISD called this community task force a Future Facility Needs Committee with subcommittees that looked at Elementary Schools and Facilities, Secondary Schools and Facilities, Other Facilities, Finance, and Technology. It’s a process of identifying current and future facility improvements:

District is not required to build bond projects but funds cannot be used for different purposes without voter approval.
