The Tomball Independent School District board is set to convene on November 10 for its regular meeting, where two critical agenda items will be addressed. First, Deputy Superintendent Amy Schindewolf will present the district’s legislative priorities for the 90th Texas legislative session. The presentation, scheduled for 5:30 p.m., will outline how the district plans to advocate for policies that support strong families, faith‑based education, and local control.
Legislative priorities for the 2025 session
Schindewolf’s briefing will focus on several key areas: protecting parental rights in education, ensuring that state funding formulas fairly reward districts that uphold traditional values, and advancing workforce‑ready curricula that prepare students for careers in the growing Texas economy. The board will discuss how these priorities align with the district’s mission to provide a safe, values‑centered learning environment.
Construction contracts funded by the 2025 bond
Following the legislative discussion, the board will move to confirm contracts for multiple construction projects using the 2025 bond proceeds. The projects include:
- Completion of the Tomball Innovation Center – Building 4, expanding space for STEM and career‑technical programs.
- Athletic improvements at Creekside Park and Tomball Memorial High School, enhancing facilities for student‑athletes and community events.
- Replacement of HVAC equipment at Tomball Elementary, Timber Creek Elementary, Creekside Forest Elementary, the district maintenance shop, and the carpentry shop, ensuring healthier indoor air quality for students and staff.
These upgrades are intended to modernize the district’s infrastructure while preserving the fiscal responsibility that taxpayers expect.
Financial and academic updates
Chief Financial Officer Zack Boles will present the district’s annual investment report, providing transparency on how bond funds and other resources are being managed. Afterward, Chief Academic Officer Michael Webb will share a preview of the proposed 2027‑2028 high‑school course catalog. While the board will not vote on the catalog until the next meeting on November 10, the preview gives parents and community members insight into upcoming academic offerings.
Community impact
Board members emphasized that these decisions reflect the district’s commitment to serving families and upholding the values that make Tomball a thriving community. By aligning legislative advocacy with concrete improvements to school facilities, the board aims to create an environment where students can excel academically, athletically, and spiritually.
Residents are encouraged to attend the meeting, which will be streamed live on the district’s website, and to submit any comments during the public comment period. The board’s actions this month set the stage for a productive legislative session and a continued investment in Tomball’s educational future.
