2024 Bond Program
Welcome!
Welcome to the Boling ISD 2024 Bond Program website. On May 4, 2024, the voters of Boling ISD (BISD) approved a $40,500,000 bond proposal as the first step in a long-range strategy to address educational adequacy of facilities in BISD. The primary objective of the program is to replace Newgulf Elementary School, constructed in 1929, with a new modern campus. BISD will also address priority improvements at Boling High School as funds are available. This website has been designed to provide the community with regular updates of the program’s progress.

BISD Breaks Ground on New Elementary School
On September 29, 2025, Boling ISD officially broke ground on a new elementary to replace the current elementary in Newgulf. The district has included input from teachers and staff over the last year as we’ve worked with Wharton County to ensure all drainage elements have been addressed. The new state of the art campus will serve grades Pre-K through 5th. It is the main component of the 2024 bond approved by voters.
The rendering below illustrates the proposed entry to the new campus. The project is scheduled for completion in late 2026.
Board Approves GMP for New Elementary
At a special called meeting on August 5, 2025, the Board of Trustees approved a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the new school project in Newgulf. The GMP of $31,994,611 was approved for Drymalla Construction of Columbus, Texas. Drymalla is the general contractor for the project under the “Construction Manager at Risk” project delivery method. That will enable the district to closely monitor all costs for the project. Expected completion is late 2026.
