After the successful passage of its May 2024 bond election, Longview ISD is enhancing its commitment to transparency and community engagement as it embarks on several transformative projects. The bond, approved to address critical needs such as new facilities, technology upgrades, and campus improvements, is supported by a robust communication strategy to keep stakeholders informed every step of the way.
A key component of this effort is the district's revamped webpage, LISD.org/bond2024, which will serve as a one-stop shop for all bond-related updates. Visitors can access news, board update slides, and monthly updates showcasing the progress of projects. The webpage will also feature an upcoming podcast with Superintendent Dr. Marla Sheppard, providing insights into the district's vision and the bond's impact on students and families.
In addition to the revamped webpage, Longview ISD is utilizing its quarterly community newspaper The Longview Voice, which is mailed directly to registered voters, to provide comprehensive bond updates. Each issue will highlight bond project progress alongside engaging stories that celebrate the great things happening across the district. This multi-channel approach ensures that all community members, regardless of their preferred communication method, can stay connected to the district's efforts.
The district's bond leadership team, made up of community members, staff, and industry experts, is working diligently to ensure that projects are completed on time and within budget. Regular monthly updates presented to the board will also be made available on the website, adding another layer of accountability and transparency.
