A $3.38 million interior renovation of Marble Falls Middle School is likely to be approved by the Marble Falls Independent School District Board of Trustees. A first reading of the proposed plans was presented at a board meeting on Monday, March 23.
Pending an additional reading and approval, work is expected to begin this summer.
The renovations, paid for using a portion of the voter-approved $172.2 million bond passed in May 2025, will address aging and worn down interior aspects like ceilings, floors, walls, cabinets, restrooms, and common areas.
The first phase of the renovations will replace flooring and fix up bathrooms, while ceiling replacements, lighting, doors, and painting will be completed during the second phase beginning in the summer of 2027.
The renovations are a key project on the long to-do list of bond projects, largely due to the safety concerns of the aging interior, and not just aesthetics. Rusted corners on bathroom stalls, rotting ceiling tiles, and several water leaks throughout the school are just a few of the problems in dire need of fixing.
The first step taken towards repairs came in August of 2025 when the middle school received a new roof along with Colt Elementary and Marble Falls High.
Many bond projects are still yet to be completed, as the district continues to play catch-up after their previous architect firm’s series of inaccurate project cost estimates halted progress for a handful of months.
