The Tomball Independent School District (TISD) has approved significant infrastructure projects, including the replacement of bleachers at Tomball High School and the expansion of a parking lot at the transportation facility. These projects are part of the district’s ongoing efforts to improve facilities for students and staff.

Bleacher Replacement

The decision to replace the bleachers at Tomball High School comes with a budget of $461,000, funded by the 2025 bond. Initially planned for this summer, the construction was postponed to avoid disrupting current athletic activities. TISD Superintendent Martha Salazar-Zamora confirmed that the project will commence next summer and is expected to be completed before the new school year begins in August.

Parking Lot Expansion

In addition to the bleacher replacement, TISD trustees have approved a $5.7 million parking lot expansion for the district’s transportation facility. This project will be managed by Gamma Construction and is also funded by the 2025 bond. Board President Mark Lewandowski emphasized the importance of these upgrades in supporting the district’s growth and operational efficiency.

These developments reflect TISD’s commitment to enhancing educational environments and accommodating the needs of its students and staff. By strategically planning construction timelines, the district aims to minimize disruptions and ensure that facilities are ready for use when needed.
