As Leander ISD plans to open Christine Camacho Elementary School in fall 2015 and Tom Glenn High School in fall 2016, district staffers are considering how to populate the new campuses.

The planning of new attendance zones around Tom Glenn High School is expected to begin in early 2015. But with the elementary school opening in less than one year, district staff presented preliminary options for new elementary school attendance boundaries to the school board in August and September.

Community members are invited to weigh in on future elementary school attendance zones during public meetings in September and October. Scheduling information will be available on the school district's website, www.leanderisd.org, said Veronica Sopher, assistant superintendent of community and government relations.

The district's preliminary elementary school attendance zone scenarios, which would be effective when Camacho Elementary School opens in fall 2015, show possible school changes for students in neighborhoods including Westview Meadows, Mason Creek North, Magnolia Creek, Vista Ridge, Falcon Oaks, County Glen, and Lakeline Ranch south of Osage Road. However, any attendance zone can change during the process, staffers said.

The new $24.6 million campus is designed to help relieve overcrowded schools in northwest Leander, Sopher said.

The demographer's report commissioned by LISD in fall 2013 also shows the need to open an additional elementary school in fall 2016. On Sept. 4 school board members said they would like to see more options for Camacho Elementary School attendance zones that take into account the possible opening of another elementary school in Leander in 2016. Funds to build Elementary School No. 26 were approved by voters in 2007. The school board authorized the sale of the bonds in July.

The board plans to discuss attendance zones again at its Sept. 18 meeting.
