BISD: Celebrating Excellence
BISD voters approve 2014 bond: Now what?
Now that the bond has passed, the Board and Administration have begun the complex process of developing a timeline for completing all aspects of the projects included in the bond referendum. This timeline will be published on our website as soon as it has been completed. Progress reports will also be posted regularly online.
All BISD websites will be down 6 p.m. Saturday until 6 p.m. Sunday
Network maintenance at BISD’s website provider will take place from 6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 15 to 6 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 16. There will be a complete interruption of website service during the first 12 hours and potential intermittent interruption during the remaining 12 hours. All maintenance is expected to be completed by 6 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 16 and full services restored.
Any changes to the scheduled outage will be posted on the district’s Facebook and Twitter feeds.
