Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas is rapidly growing as building projects are in full swing for completing major projects from the School Bond 2010, and starting new building projects authorized by the voters in the 2014 School Bond. Besides building new schools, the district is also slated for renovations of older schools, and technology as well as updating security features on many sites.
