District leaders held a parent meeting at Martin Elementary School in early March to discuss the changes, Superintendent Thomas Maglisceau said during a March 24 board meeting.
Long story short
Margie Moore Vasquez Elementary School, the district’s fifth elementary, will open in the southeast portion of the district. Students in this area were previously zoned to Martin or O’Dell elementary schools.
Incoming fifth grade students will be eligible to stay at Martin Elementary, however, siblings of a fifth grader would not be eligible, Maglisceau said.
Families who elect to stay must provide their own transportation, he said.
Looking ahead
CISD expects to open three elementary schools east of Preston Road by 2027, which Maglisceau said will shift students in the northeast quadrant of the district.
