Sheldon Independent School District’s Board of Trustees selected LAN as Program Manager for the $285 million bond. The high-profile bond program is critical to accommodating the District’s fast growth and is the largest in the District’s history.

LAN is providing comprehensive Program Management services, including the development and management of the bond program’s schedule and budget, creating measurable milestones, cash-flow requirements, assisting in land acquisition, in the selection, recommendation, and management of professional and construction services; in providing utility availability options, and in ensuring that the bond program is within the budget and on time. Additionally, LAN is performing design review for multiple projects as part of the bond program and is providing community outreach/ community relations services, including the development and maintenance of the District’s Bond Program website.

The program consists of a new high school, elementary school, and athletic complex on new 185 acre campus, and renovations to re-purpose the existing high school and middle school. Additionally, the bond will accomplish the retirement of millions of dollars’ worth of deferred maintenance across multiple campuses and security upgrades to many locations. The high school is using fast-track techniques to accelerate the schedule.

The new campus includes the new C.E. King High School for a 3,500 student body, a new football stadium seating up up to 10,000 spectators, and the new Sheldon Lake Elementary School for a 700 student body. The bond also includes the conversion of the existing high school to a junior high school, the renovation of an elementary school mechanical system, and various other projects.
