#1 - New Middle School
Justification
Demographic studies have consistently indicated pressure to construct a third Middle School. Current capacity at the Middle School level is 2,800 (Including Santa Fe Middle School) with current enrollment of approximately 3,000. With current enrollment at each existing Middle School exceeding their capacity limit, this project will provide for the near and distant future needs for growth in Middle School facilities. By the time of the planned opening, the Middle School grades will be between 4,023 and 4,695 per estimates. For cost effectiveness, parity across facilities, and design expediency, the Santa Fe Middle School plan is the basis for design.

Description
Serving up to 1,600 students in grades 6 though 8, this new facility will be designed as home to CISD's third Middle School.
It is to be designed to meet all current district standards for technology to support a full range of program needs equal to
Santa Fe Middle School. This project is an adaptive reuse of Santa Fe Middle School and will include athletic amenities of
track and football fields, with support facilities, restrooms, concessions and bleachers for 900. Planned location is on
existing property owned by the district adjacent to the new Northside Elementary campus on FM 2025, where property is
already owned and partially developed by district.
#2 - New CTE Building
Justification
The Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs in the High School have grown significantly in enrollment and many programs exceed capacity. Several programs are in spaces that lack proper equipment and technology for instruction. Because the High School is not well suited to additions and expansions, this project will allow a new facility dedicated to CTE programs to be constructed and the current spaces used by CTE returned for traditional classroom uses. A new CTE center would allow instruction to be delivered in spaces reflective of the industry they serve, equip students for post-secondary education, and reinforce the existing academies on the campus.
