Lubbock-Cooper ISD trustees approved a bond election to the May 7 ballot for voters in that school district.
The $208.2 million proposal includes renovations and technology improvements district-wide as well as two new elementary school campuses and a third middle school campus.
The proposed bond package would not require an increase in the tax rate.
Superintendent Keith Bryant says Lubbock-Cooper is trying to accommodate unprecedented growth.
"Lubbock-Cooper is the third fastest growing school district in the state of Texas in the last five years, in terms of percentage growth of students, only behind two different school districts in the Metroplex," Bryant said. "I think it's a very positive thing for Lubbock-Cooper, I think it's a positive thing for the Lubbock community, the growth is here, the economy reaps the benefits of the growth of parents and students. We're excited about the possibilities that are ahead of us."
Lubbock-Cooper ISD is growing at an average annual rate of 8.1 percent.
This past year, district enrollment increased by 515 students.
