Canutillo ISD breaks ground on the first project from the multi-million dollar Canutillo Bond 2024

CANUTILLO, Texas (KVIA) -- The Canutillo Independent School District (CISD) broke ground on the first project from the $382.6 million voter-approved Canutillo Bond.

This first project seeks to install lights in both the baseball and softball fields at Canutillo High School. This project has a cost of $620,000 and is expected to be completed in 3 months.

The installation of the lights would allow Canutillo High School to host night games for the first time in school history.

Gustavo Reveles, spokesperson for Canutillo ISD, told ABC-7 that Canutillo High School was the only 5-A High School to not have lights until now. Something that prevented the school from hosting games after school. This would cause students to be pulled out of classes in order for games to be finished before the sun went down.

Other future projects that will occur as part of the Canutillo Bond 2024 include the relocation and reconstruction of multiple schools, upgrades to HVAC systems, and the replacement of roofs, among other projects.
