Brownsboro High School Opinion surveys were distributed Monday night to members of the Brownsboro Independent School District’s Citizens Facilities Advisory Committee as administrators work towards an agreement on which construction scenarios should be recommended to trustees within weeks.

“We’re trying to get an idea on where everybody wants to go,” Superintendent Elton Caldwell said. “We’re going to see how close we are on reaching a concensus. We’ve got the different proposals outlined pretty succinctly.”

Those five proposals are:

•Option A — Construct a new elementary school in Brownsboro on a site 1.4 miles west of Brownsboro; build a new elementary school in Chandler on a site near Chandler Intermediate School; renovate Brownsboro Junior High School and Brownsboro Elementary School to serve as a single junior-high campus; build a new fieldhouse with a weight room; use Chandler Elementary School for ACES/DAEP, adult education classes with Trinity Valley Community College or Tyler Junior College, and community meeting space for government agencies and citizen groups.

•Option B — Build a new elementary school in Brownsboro on a site 1.4 miles west of Brownsboro; renovate Chandler Elementary to include a new administrative area, classrooms, library, updated/expanded cafeteria and renovation of current classrooms; renovate Brownsboro Junior High and Brownsboro Elementary to serve as junior high; renovate the high school to address electrical and technology concerns and the need for academic and restroom renovations in the physical education and athletic area; build a new fieldhouse with a weight room.

•Option C — (Proposition 1) Construct a new elementary school in Brownsboro on a site 1.4 miles west of Brownsboro; renovate Chandler Elementary to include a new administrative area, classrooms, library, updated/expanded cafeteria and renovation of current classrooms; renovate Brownsboro Junior High and Brownsboro Elementary to serve as junior high; renovate the high school to address electrical and technology concerns and the need for academic and restroom renovations in the physical education and athletic area; (Proposition 2) build a new fieldhouse with a weight room

•Option D — (Proposition 1) Construct a new elementary school in Brownsboro on a site 1.4 miles west of Brownsboro; build a new elementary school in Chandler near Chandler Intermediate; renovate Brownsboro Junior High and Brownsboro Elementary to serve as junior high; renovate the high school to address electrical and technology concerns and the need for academic and restroom renovations in the physical education and athletic area; use Chandler Elementary School for ACES/DAEP, adult education classes with Trinity Valley Community College or Tyler Junior College, and community meeting space for government agencies and citizen groups; (Proposition 2) build a new fieldhouse with a weight room.

•Option E — (Proposition 1) Build a new elementary school in Brownsboro on a site 1.4 miles west of Brownsboro; build a new elementary school in Chandler on a site near Chandler Intermediate; (Proposition 2) build a new fieldhouse with a weight room; (Proposition 3) use tax rate election to fund renovations under maintenance and operations over a five-year period; renovate Brownsboro Junior High and Brownsboro Elementary to serve as junior high; renovate the high school to address electrical and technology concerns and the need for academic and restroom renovations in the physical education and athletic area; use Chandler Elementary School for ACES/DAEP, adult education classes with Trinity Valley Community College or Tyler Junior College, and community meeting space for government agencies and citizen groups.

The advisory committee of more than 60 people, charged with finding the most ideal and cost-effective way for the district to expand, has met seven times since Feb. 22 and is scheduled to meet at least two more times over the next two months, including on May 31 at Brownsboro High School.

It is scheduled to host town hall meetings on June 15 and June 17, and a recommendation to trustees is expected by July 12.

The oldest of the district’s six campuses — Brownsboro Elementary, Chandler Elementary, Brownsboro High, and Brownsboro Junior High — need extensive renovations or expansions. The elementary schools are in the worst condition of the four.

Construction costs could range from $2.8 million to $32.5 million, depending on which proposals are recommended and accepted. A tax election is planned for November.

Texas School Planning was hired last October to consult the district on its capital-improvements plan. The student population has increased by about 60 percent over the last 20 years — a rate of 3 percent annually.
