Katy ISD hit residents with $60m bond that the stadium was lumped into. So either way it feels like BS.
I would say a smaller stadium at each school to create a home or neighbor environment would be an improvement.
For the record, I've voted against the last four school bonds here because I feel like the local district is incurring too much debt and not controlling spending. The majority of the voters keep voting for them to pass tho.
Having said that, I think I saw where that Katy mega stadium is shared by 8 schools in the district? The problem with a smaller stadium is that as soon as you have a big game with a similar-sized rival, you've got angry parents and relatives of kids on the team and the band out the kazoo who can't get into the stadium due to lack of capacity. And the residents did vote for the bond.

For Kenner Discovery I think that’s their K-12 number… just for high school they’re in class 4A
Denham Springs is up there too

Katy ISD has 9 High Schools & the 10th will open next year. They have 2 large football stadiums sitting right next to each other.

A lot of the northern & western Texas schools have indoor multipurpose (football) facilities... the Houston, San Antonio, and South don't

This HS being built was part of master plan for Prosper that was accelerated a few years because of the population growth.
It used to be the edge of the sprawl but that’s now Celina and eventually Gunter. The pace of population growth is impressive.

It was until Southside HS opened a few years ago.
Now none of the schools in Lafayette Parish are above 2000 kids. And in fact LHS is getting a brand new campus (at the same location).

wrong about stadium in katy being lumped in. texas law doesn’t allow it. athletic facilities are stand alone propositions. and most schools in dfw have indoor facilities. i would say more schools have them than don’t. prosper area growth is stupid. denton master plan has 10 high schools. argyle has 1500 hs students and they are about to build a second indoor. when a town like ferris, just south of dallas, small school, has a 3000 home subdivision going in, but citizens won’t pass a bond to build, things will get ugly. a lot of bond proposals failed this past spring in few. a lot passed . northwest isd. north of ft worth passed a 1 billion dollar bond. our school district voted against our last 3 bonds.
