Lamar CISD seeks zoning input for new secondary schools in Fulshear

By the numbers

The opening of the new schools will help to reduce the populations of Roberts Middle School, Leaman Junior High School and Fulshear High School to prevent overpopulation as the area continues to grow, officials said.

As more facilities join the district, it becomes necessary to rezone certain communities in order to keep enrollment balanced, Maxwell said.

"Above all we aim to do what is best for our students that means keeping neighborhoods and feeder patterns whenever that is possible, aligning enrollment with campus capacity and reducing overcrowding," he said. "We also consider student proximity to campus, safe travel routes and effective communication with impacted families."

Lamar CISD announced a rezoning interactive map tool available online where users can enter their address to see which campus their child would attend for every option.

The district also released a survey—accessible from Feb. 18 through March 4—intended for parents whose children are impacted by the rezoning to share their option preferences.

What happens next?

The attendance boundary committee will meet in March to share opinions on the zoning options and rank the options before sending their findings back to the board, Maxwell said.

Final board recommendations are scheduled for May.
