AISD formed the Citizens Advisory Committee in the late spring of 2022 to help the district with important decisions regarding the current growth of the school community and the future needs of the district.

The CAC met five times at different school district locations to review material provided by the district and a growth consultant, including results from a community survey, and to tour current facilities.

During the fourth meeting, the CAC decided to focus its attention on addressing enrollment growth and student capacity issues as opposed to addressing the age of current facilities. They helped determine what questions would be on the community survey.

The survey asked a series of questions to gauge the community’s voting habits, awareness of growth, and awareness of other factors related to a potential bond. It also gauged the community's support for potential bond projects (full survey results):

• Safety & Security for $18.25 million - 88.9 percent support

• New Elementary School for $50 million - 79.3 percent support

• New Junior High School for $90 million - 76.9 percent support

• New Furniture (for grades 2-5) for $9.5 million - 77.9 percent support

• Current Elementary School Improvements for $12 million - 82.9 percent support

• Demolitions, Removals and Renovations for $9 million - 74.7 percent support
  

After reviewing the survey results, the CAC decided to recommend all the projects be included in the proposed bond, and members of the committee presented their findings and recommendations to the AISD Board of Trustees on Tuesday, August 16, 2022, for a vote to call a bond election for November 2022. The board unanimously approved the bond as presented and called for the 2022 bond election at the meeting.
