During a recent government meeting, officials provided updates on significant developments in the Pecos school district, including timelines for new school constructions and bond management strategies.
The high school is set to open in July 2026, with portable buildings currently in use scheduled for removal shortly thereafter. The demolition of the remaining sections of the old Pecos High School will commence once a new fine arts center is completed, anticipated for July 2027. Notably, the band hall will remain intact until the new facility is operational.
Crockett Middle School will continue utilizing portable buildings until December 2026, with a new campus expected to open in January 2027, coinciding with the semester change.
In addition to construction updates, officials highlighted their proactive approach to managing school bonds. The first bond issued in 2021 is nearly paid off, with a significant payment scheduled for February that will address a large portion of the $446 million bond. The district aims to fully pay off this bond by 2029 or 2030.
The meeting concluded with expressions of gratitude for the community's support and enthusiasm for the ongoing changes within the district.
