What is the current state of LISD facilities?
The facility assessment states that 12 of the district’s 15 campuses are “educationally and economically obsolete.” All schools have exceeded their functional capacity to the extent that there are over 700 students housed in portable buildings. This is the equivalent of one new elementary school population. The original phases of all schools average 48-years-old. Aside from South Ward and Doris McQueen, the district’s other schools range in age between 32 and 80 years, and most have had three or more additions.
