NCISD trustees unanimously voted to allow the district’s administrators to negotiate for two parcels of land—one for 100 acres and one for 13 acres—according to Sept. 15 meeting documents.

The larger parcel of land is located near the intersection of FM 1485 and Gene Campbell Road in New Caney, Superintendent Matt Calvert said. The other site is located near NCISD’s Crippen Elementary School near the intersection of FM 1314 and Cumberland Boulevard.

Some context

Due to forecasted enrollment growth over the next decade, NCISD could need three new elementary schools and a new high school, as previously reported by Community Impact. A mid-level growth projection expects the district to see enrollment rise 43.3% over the next decade, according to a March 17 report from demographics firm Population and Survey Analysts, or PASA.

Remember this?

In January, NCISD’s board of trustees voted to allow district administrators to negotiate a potential 17-acre land purchase for a future school site. This tract of land is located in the Porters Mill subdivision along Gene Campbell Road.
