Corpus Christi ISD’s Oct. 26, 2026, board update put Hamlin and Lexington middle schools’ football fields on track for Nov. 30 completion and reported demolition underway at seven former school sites. Those dates are estimates reported Oct. 28, not guarantees; Cunningham has a separate, longer schedule.
When will the Hamlin and Lexington football fields be finished?
CCISD expected the fields at Hamlin and Lexington middle schools to be complete by Nov. 30, 2026. The estimate had moved from Nov. 6 so the field work would finish alongside installation of supporting irrigation wells, construction executive Trent Wagner told the board.

The wells are intended to support irrigation while reducing reliance on the city water supply. At the time of the update, concrete tank foundations had been poured and the tanks had been delivered, but installation was still pending. The Caller-Times’ report republished by AOL describes these as project status and expected timing at the Oct. 26 meeting.
Which Corpus Christi ISD campuses are being demolished?
Demolition was underway at seven sites: Browne Middle School, Cunningham Middle School at South Park, Fannin Elementary, Kostoryz Elementary, Martin Middle School, Sanders Elementary and Travis Elementary. District officials said the work is intended to address vacant facilities, protect school property and limit impacts on surrounding neighborhoods.

| Site | Reported demolition progress | Schedule reported Oct. 28 |
|---|---|---|
| Travis Elementary | 60% | Estimated complete by Jan. 29, 2027 |
| Martin Middle School | 50% | Estimated complete by Jan. 29, 2027 |
| Fannin Elementary | 25% | Estimated complete by Jan. 29, 2027 |
| Kostoryz Elementary | 15% | Estimated complete by Jan. 29, 2027 |
| Sanders Elementary | 5% | Estimated complete by Jan. 29, 2027 |
| Browne Middle School | 5% | Estimated complete by Jan. 29, 2027 |
| Cunningham Middle School at South Park | Not stated in the update | Seven-month substantial-completion window, plus one additional month for final completion |
The Jan. 29 date applied to the six listed sites other than Cunningham; it should not be treated as a district-wide demolition deadline. The percentages and schedules are estimates from the Oct. 26 board update, as reported Oct. 28. An earlier August report described June 30, 2027, as the demolition completion date in meeting documents, so the later site-specific update and the earlier overall schedule use different frames. The August report also said Haas Middle School would become the instructional resource center, replacing the former center at Cunningham.
Why is CCISD demolishing the buildings instead of reusing parts?
CCISD officials cited the condition and vacancy of the campuses, property protection and neighborhood impacts. In separate coverage of the contract decision, deputy superintendent Karen Griffith said retaining part of a building would require costly rerouting of electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems; she also said vacant, unmonitored buildings could invite vandalism. Those are the district’s stated reasons, not an independent engineering assessment. KRIS 6’s coverage of the board decision provides that context.

What other construction projects did the board update cover?
The update also covered a multipurpose room and roof replacements. Percentages and dates below are the reported status and estimates at the Oct. 26 meeting; the update did not specify a year for the Dec. 31 roof estimates.
| Project | Reported progress | Reported milestone or estimate |
|---|---|---|
| Veterans Memorial High School multipurpose room | 95% | Substantial completion dated Oct. 15, 2026 |
| Shannon Elementary roof | 70% | Estimated June 4, 2027 |
| Driscoll Middle School roof | 5% | Estimated June 4, 2027 |
| Cabaniss Athletic Complex roof | 95% | Estimated Dec. 31; year not specified |
| Miller High School roof | 80% | Estimated Dec. 31; year not specified |
The July 27 agenda summary listed $4,299,315 for roof replacements at Driscoll Middle School and Schanen Estates Elementary School. That agenda item is not identical to the later progress list, which reports Shannon Elementary, and the two should not be conflated. The agenda summary also lists $763,800 for the Hamlin and Lexington field installations and $3,606,933 in demolition contracts.

How much are the demolition projects expected to cost?
The July agenda summary gives a demolition contract total of $3,606,933. An August Caller-Times report instead described the work as costing more than $3.2 million from 2022 bond funds. The available reporting does not reconcile those figures, and neither should be presented as a definitive final paid cost without executed contracts or district records.

Why do the reported CCISD demolition cost figures differ?
The July agenda summary lists demolition contracts totaling $3,606,933, while the August news report describes costs as more than $3.2 million. The reporting available here does not explain the difference, so the figures should remain attributed to their respective sources.
