Note from Superintendent Regarding Bond


We appreciate the support our citizens showed by voting FOR the bond on May 11. This bond will allow us to begin renovation and building projects in Lorena ISD to provide more adequate facilities to meet our students’ needs.

I want to personally thank each of you who played a role in the passage of this much needed bond. I appreciate the tireless hours you devoted to getting factual information out to the public so that they could make an informed decision. Your support of this project is recognized and appreciated. Whether you voted for or against the bond, we want to assure you that this money will be spent in a responsible and reasonable manner. The students of Lorena ISD are the beneficiaries of this vote. Thank you so much.


Estimate of Project Completion Dates
Construction and renovations will begin at the primary, elementary and middle schools. Those three campuses should be completed by the beginning of the 2014-2015 school year. We project that the
2014-2015 school year will open with the following new campus arrangements:

Lorena Primary School  Pre-K – 2nd grades
Lorena Elementary School  3rd – 5th grades
Lorena Middle School 6th – 8th grades

The work on Lorena High School will begin sometime during the other projects and will be completed in phases. All phases of the additions and renovations at Lorena High School should be completed by the beginning of the 2015-2016 school year.
