Garland Independent School District is leveraging a $1.1B bond approved by voters in 2023 to modernize its educational infrastructure and enhance workforce readiness across the North Texas region. The multi-faceted investment includes the construction of four new elementary schools, the development of multiprogram activity centers at existing high schools, and facility-wide renovations.

Beyond physical construction, the district is expanding curriculum offerings at the Gilbreath-Reed Career and Technical Center, adding five new programs focused on industrial and technical trades. These facility improvements aim to reinforce Garland's local economy by positioning the district as a primary talent pipeline for the city's manufacturing and aerospace sectors.
