Tom Maglisceau, the district’s superintendent, said the committee is made up 48 people, from staff members, community and business stakeholders and students. He said the group will meet twice in November and December and once in January before presenting its recommendation to the Board of Trustee on Jan. 21, 2025. Maglisceau said facilities are a “primary concern” due to the district’s rapid growth. He said the discussion surrounding a second high school will need to be had, but the bond committee has to decide whether it wants to add it to this bond package or address it later. He added that building a high school takes roughly five years, and even with the current expansion to Celina High School, that facility will be “beyond capacity” in five years. He said it would “prudent” to look at an additional facility given Celina High School’s capacity. Last spring the district created a long-range planning committee – many of who are also serving on the bond committee – to look at possibilities moving forward. The group toured campuses in Prosper, McKinney and Denton to see how they developed facilities while experiencing rapid growth. He said the district is currently in a good spot as a lot of its facilities are growth based, but the committee gained insight, which it passed along to the board in May, into how to handle the growth. “We know we need to build more schools,” Maglisceau said. Maglisceau added that the district’s financial advisors will be working with the bond committee, as it does not want to present a bond that will raise taxes.
