Houston Independent School District
HISD has built a nationwide reputation for progress and innovation in public education, and the successes of
the district’s current Facilities Program has indeed contributed to HISD’s prestige.
Schools that are clean, safe, modern and inviting, allow teachers to concentrate on teaching while providing
students with optimal learning environments, as evidenced by improvements in student academic performance
as a result of HISD’s Facilities Program. The Capital Renovation Fund accounts for the district’s capital
improvement programs which are primarily funded by voter authorized bonds.
In 1997, HISD undertook a systematic, objective approach to rebuild and repair school buildings for Houston’s
children, then, now, and for the future. Two of the nation’s premier firms in the program management industry,
Jacob’s Engineering, Inc. and 3D/International, Inc. conducted a comprehensive assessment of the conditions
and educational suitability of all HISD facilities, documenting more than $1.2 billion of needed repairs. The
completed assessment provided HISD with information to develop a request for a bond referendum.
The recommended facility plan provided for creating safe, high-quality facilities while dramatically improving
learning environments for Houston students, by rebuilding, expanding, upgrading and renovating schools that
no longer met contemporary standards for learning. In addition, the facility plan aimed to benefit Houston’s
communities by funding new and upgraded schools that would promote safer, neighborhoods. The original plan
called for a three-phase Facilities-to-Standard Program to address improvements to HISD schools and support
facilities. The program phases would be funded by three individual bond referendums. The first bond program,
Rebuild 2002, was approved in 1998 by overwhelming voter support.
In July 2002, HISD’s Board of Education voted to place an $808.6 million bond referendum on the general
election ballot of November 2002, to begin the second phase of school construction and renovation. The
initiative was called Rebuild HISD, which was designed to help continue the district’s outstanding record of
academic progress and operation innovation by bringing more district facilities up to standard. In November
2002, Houston voters approved a second, $808.6-million bond program, Rebuild HISD.
In November 2007, HISD went to the voters for the third phase of the Facilities-to-Standard Program and
requested $805 million to complete this project.
The Bond Program Office was charged with the selection of program managers, who are responsible for managing
the architects, engineers, and construction companies to carry out the Bond Program’s various projects. A Bond
Oversight Committee, an independent citizen’s committee composed of building and construction professionals
and community members was created to ensure that the various projects stay on track and that taxpayer dollars
are being spent wisely. The Bond Office provides the Bond Oversight Committee with regular updates, status
reports, and program information. It is the ultimate goal of the office to ensure that the Bond Program upholds
Pay-As-You-Go Program
In the 2005-2006 school year, the district began a new “Pay-As-You-Go” Program primarily to provide needed
renovations and repairs to school buildings and other facilities that are not part of the approved bond funds.
This program will generate approximately $232 million for facilities over the next six years (please see chart
below) and approximately $210 million in cost avoidance by lowering the amount of future bond money
needed for facilities. To spend these funds, a project plan must be brought before the Board of Education
and funds appropriated before any work can begin. The goal of the program is to provide needed repairs and
maintenance to campuses and other facilities; hence, reducing the need of frequent bond issues for major
repairs, renovations, and replacements.
Funding for this program was partially and indirectly created through legislative actions passed by the 79th Third
called Special Session of the Texas Legislature. Under the new legislation, for 2007-2008, the maintenance
and operations (M&O) tax rate had to be reduced to 66.67 percent of the 2005-2006 tax rate. The district’s M&O
rate for 2007-2008 will be compressed to $.9667 versus the 2005-2006 M&O tax rate of $1.45. Legislation also
provided districts with the opportunity for an additional $0.04 for enrichment without voter approval. In 2006-
2007, the Board of Education approved an increase to the M&O rate by $.04 while decreasing the Debt Service
rate by $.04. The local taxes earned from the increase of the $.04 M&O will be transferred annually to the Debt
Service Fund for payment of the district’s debt. By approving this $.04 million, HISD generates state funding of
$12.5 million in the 2007-2008 school year, which the Board approved the Superintendent’s recommendation
to use these funds to begin the Pay-As-You-Go Program. This program was created by and is Board Policy.

The City has created twenty (20) tax increment reinvestment zones. HISD currently participates in sixteen (16)
of these zones (listed below) commonly known as:
The primary reason for the City’s request for HISD to participate in the tax increment zones was because
HISD’s participation is generally required in order for the zones to succeed. The long-term result of a successful
increment zone will be increased property values, which will benefit all taxing entities through an increased tax
base thus perpetuating increased tax revenues. Without the zones, property values would be much less likely
to increase because new development would not occur at the same rate.
Coca Cola
The district receives funds from an exclusive, full-service beverage contract with Coca Cola. The Board of
Education approved these funds to only be used for improvements to athletic facilities.
Maintenance Notes
Maintenance Tax Notes were issued in April 2001 for $100,000,000 and have been used for emergency life and
safety capital needs for schools and facilities in the district.
Asbestos Notes
Funds remaining in this initiative are from notes issued in 2004 for renewal of asbestos abatement. After these
funds are totally expended, this initiative will be over.
Miscellaneous Funding
Proceeds from sales of capital assets, capital leases, lease revenue, and miscellaneous sources are used for
emergency capital needs approved by the Board.
Below is a table representing the funds discussed earlier and are available for future programs.

Revenue Sources
The primary source of funding for the Capital Renovation Fund is generated through the issuance of bonds
which requires prior approval by the HISD Board of Education and ultimately by Houston voters. Proceeds from
the sale of bonds along with other revenue sources are loaded directly into capital renovation reserve funds
to be immediately used for approved bond referendums and other board-approved projects. Debt Service
costs related to the sale of bonds are not accounted for in the Capital Project Fund, but in the Debt Service
Fund. The district has a separate fund set up exclusively to account for all debt service costs. Below is a chart
representing actual capital project revenues over the past six years.

The debt payments for bonds sold are paid for through the district’s Debt Service Fund which generates it’s revenue
from property taxes. A tax rate is set each year by the Board of Education that generates the necessary funds for the
district’s debt payment.
Rebuild 2002 was completed on time and under budget. In fact, Rebuild 2002 was so successful, savings
enabled HISD to build one additional elementary school and renovate nine other schools that were not included
in its original project scope.
The selection of the ten (10) new relief school locations were based on six (6) major factors:
1. Current overcrowding
2. Broad public support
3. Maintaining community participation in the schools
4. Potential/projected growth of the community
5. Geographic equity
6. Cost effectiveness and program effectiveness
The repairs and renovations of the 69 schools and 22 facilities were prioritized based on the severity of the
problems.
Programmatically, Rebuild 2002 is complete. The available funds, resulting from interest income and available
balances from the completion of projects under budget, have allowed the District to use the funds for various
maintenance projects and other board-approved projects.
The Rebuild HISD program is credited for building new schools and early childhood centers, replacing aging
schools, renovating and expanding existing schools, upgrading gymnasiums and playground structures, and
building a new bus service facility. Construction activities are nearing completion after four years into the
program and students are already reaping the benefits of improved learning environments, thanks to the
continued success of the Rebuild HISD program.
The source of funds available to the Rebuild HISD program include the bond proceeds , investment earnings,
and miscellaneous revenues. Estimated revenues for the Rebuild HISD program are $877,288,020.
On the following pages is a schedule of the work in progress and projects completed under Rebuild HISD by
