Demolition, site work, paving, new construction, renovation and addition to a mixed-use development in Cleburne, Texas. Conceptual plans call for the addition of a educational facility; for the demolition of a educational facility; for the construction of a educational facility; for the renovation of a educational facility; for site work for a educational facility; sidewalk / parking lot; and for paving for a sidewalk / parking lot.

Proposition A ($175,000,000) addresses replacement construction for two schools, Cooke Elementary and Gerard Elementary, and a ten classroom addition and upgrades to Marti Elementary. Current construction codes require storm shelters be included on any addition or new campus construction. This proposition sets the stage for a phase 2 which would include Coleman Elementary. Coleman is the same age as Cooke Elementary, but its location in a floodplain and limited land, prevent rebuilding while students remain on-site. Cooke, however, has enough land to build a new school while students continue in the existing building. Once the new Cooke is complete, Coleman students could temporarily move into the old Cooke or Gerard, allowing Coleman to be torn down and rebuilt in a future bond. Building a new campus takes about two years from start to finish. Proposition A also includes enhancements of the current Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs as well as an agricultural project center. CTE changes would consist of upgrades to Health/Science Technology, Engineering, Diesel Mechanic, AV Tech, and Culinary programs. Improvements to the agriculture center encompass renovations to the existing barn, the addition of new animal barns, as well as a small animal building, and new concrete parking. Also contained in Proposition A is funding for facility improvements and life-cycle replacements. If paid for by bond funds, these improvements would make school buildings more energy efficient and lower operating costs – allowing the district to allocate its annual maintenance and operations funds back into the classroom for other items like teacher salaries and student programs. This project is part of the school district’s bond. As of October 31, 2025, the bond election will be held on November 4, 2025, with early voting October 20-31, 2025.
