COLDSPRING — Last month, the Coldspring-Oakhurst CISD Board of Trustees voted to put another bond issue before the voters, so on May 2, voters will consider a bond package that could transform the Jones Educational Complex into the brand-new Coldspring Intermediate Campus — a state-of-the-art learning environment designed specifically for students in grades 3–6.

- Built to serve students for 50+ years
Inside the New Campus:
