| Abstract: | The Houston Independent School District (HISD) is seeking a $4.4 billion bond aimed at addressing critical infrastructure and educational needs. Branded as "Renew HISD," the package would rebuild and modernize over 40 campuses, upgrade HVAC systems, improve campus security, and expand early childhood and career and technical education programs. As the district was preparing the proposal, the Kinder Institute for Urban Research fielded survey questions in January 2024 to the Greater Houston Community Panel to understand public support for a bond. Results of that survey were shared with district officials, and a follow-up survey was conducted in August 2024 to determine whether public support had changed. This brief summarizes the main findings of the January survey with additional discussion of what was learned in the August follow-up survey. |
