Campus Facilities Presentations

Victoria ISD is working in partnership with Huckabee Architects and our Bond Planning Task Force to evaluate the needs of our district facilities. A series of virtual presentations were held over the past couple of weeks to highlight the needs at each particular campus/facility. These needs were determined based on in-person assessments and by talking with each campus-based leadership team.

We want input from our VISD parents, staff, and community members that will help our Bond Planning Task Force prioritize those needs. Your thoughts and questions will be used by the Task Force members to continue their work toward drafting recommendations for the VISD Board of Trustees to consider.

Please take some time to share your voice in this process by reviewing the presentation videos, campus report documents, and sharing your opinions in the Thoughtexchange. Links to these for each facility assessed are provided below:
