Princeton ISD's two elementary schools under construction show up in a project update the district posted Tuesday for the school board's Monday, Nov. 16 meeting.
Each campus gets a one-page summary. For Abbott Elementary, at 7950 County Road 831, the slide reads "$31.10M of $40.4M GMP." For Talley Elementary, at 607 Sandhill Crane Lane, it reads "$31.6M of $41.0M GMP," GMP being the guaranteed maximum price in the construction contract.
Both pages also carry a 76% mark next to the words "overall site," and both chart a schedule that runs from February 2026 through June 2027. The slides do not give an opening date.
The update lists where work stands at each school:
- Abbott: gas lines for the rooftop units are in, drywall finishing in the classrooms is done, and wall and floor tile is going in throughout.
- Talley: sod has started going down, ceiling grid and lighting are in progress, and playground installation is to begin soon.
The construction report is one of several updates on the agenda, along with enrollment, security and a demographer's report.
Trustees are also scheduled to vote on expanding the district's audit by Region 10, the regional education service center, to include an in-depth evaluation of special programs. The agenda does not describe the scope or cost of the expanded work. A separate item would renew the district's agreement with the Region 10 multi-region purchasing cooperative.
