Clear Creek Independent School District
 
The Clear Creek Independent School District Facilities Needs Committee, a citizen group formed to review the needs of the district, has been meeting since September of 2002.

Committee members investigated four areas: New Facilities – Instructional; New Facilities – Support; Priority Maintenance; and Technology.  

A list of preliminary recommendations for items to be included in a possible school bond referendum that includes new schools, expanded support facilities, necessary repairs to existing buildings, and continued improvements in technology, has been developed.

Three public hearings have been scheduled to provide members of the community an opportunity to review the findings of the committee and to give their input. 

The hearings will have the following format: First, committee recommendations will be presented. Then community members can present their comments. Comments will be limited to two minutes per person. FNC members and CCISD staff will be present to answer questions. Following receipt of input from the public hearings, the committee will present their recommendations to the Clear Creek ISD Board of Trustees for consideration.
