Since 2020, Baird ISD has made major investments in new and improved facilities to support our students, staff, and community. These projects have been funded through a combination of local resources and voter-approved bonds, ensuring high-quality learning and activity spaces while minimizing the tax burden on our community.

November 2025 Bond Election

Baird ISD voters will consider a new bond initiative in November 2025 to fund the next phase of campus improvements, including:

• New band hall

• New cafeteria

• New science labs

• New STEM classrooms

• New life skills facilities

• New elementary offices

• New elementary library

• New high school library and maker space

• New culinary arts facility

• Classroom upgrades at both campuses

Full details, FAQs, and project plans are available at the Baird bond website.

Locally Funded Improvements

Thanks to careful financial planning and revenue from county wind energy projects, the district has completed several major projects without issuing new debt:

• Old Rock Gym Renovation (2021): Restored this historic facility for student and community use.

• Welding Academy (2022): Created a modern space for hands-on workforce and career training.

• Bears Den Football Field Turf (2025): Installation of artificial turf, fully funded through local wind energy proceeds, scheduled for completion in August 2025.

2022 Bond Projects

In 2022, Baird voters approved a bond package to expand and modernize athletic and vocational facilities. This community investment resulted in:

• Athletic Weight Room (2023): A dedicated training space for student-athletes.
• Vocational Agriculture Building (2024): A new, state-of-the-art facility to support agricultural education.
• Competition Gymnasium (2024): A modern gym to host athletics, school events, and community activities.

Campus Safety Enhancements

Baird ISD has prioritized campus safety and security, completing:

• Perimeter Security Fence: A full campus fence with reinforced historic CCC-era stone wall at the front of the school
• Administrative Office Relocation: A new secure office space in the Old Gym foyer for centralized campus operations

• Secured Entryways: Upgraded, controlled access points at both the high school and elementary campuses.
