In preparation for the opening of a new elementary and middle school in August, Dripping Springs ISD is enlisting input from the public in determining new attendance zones. Six public forums will be held to give the public an opportunity to comment on the district demographer and administrative committee's suggestions for new attendance zone boundaries. For the public's reference, those suggestions will be posted to the DSISD website prior to the first public forum. The public forums are scheduled for:
  • Wednesday, Nov. 30, 8 a.m., board room, DSISD Central Office
  • Wednesday, Nov. 30, 6 p.m., board room, DSISD Central Office
  • Wednesday, Dec. 14, 8 a.m., board room, DSISD Central Office
  • Wednesday, Dec. 14, 7 p.m., cafeteria, Rooster Springs Elementary School
  • Thursday, Jan. 26, 8 a.m., board room, DSISD Central Office
  • Thursday, Jan. 26, 6:30 p.m., cafeteria, Dripping Springs Middle School
At the Feb. 27 board meeting, the committee will bring a recommendation of boundaries to the DSISD board of trustees for a final decision. Additionally, suggested names for both the elementary and middle school are still being accepted. The deadline to submit suggestions is today, and they can be made using the online form. A name will be chosen for each school at a DSISD board of trustees meeting in either December or January.
