Lamar CISD approves rezoning options for new Fulshear secondary schools

However, the attendance boundary committee—composed of parents and stakeholders of surrounding affected schools—gave their final recommendation of a committee-devised, administration-endorsed fourth option.

Committee representatives said the fourth option was created to minimize splitting track patterns and prioritize balanced enrollment across campuses to support LCISD’s growth.

The board also voted to allow rising high school seniors already enrolled in neighboring schools to stay at their current campus instead of transferring to Williams High School for the 2027-28 school year.

During the presentation, the board also voted to approve the University Interscholastic League legacy provision eligibility for students rezoned for the 2027-28 school year who meet certain criteria to stay at their current campus through graduation.

LCISD Athletic Director Devin Gabbard said students participating in UIL academics, UIL athletics and UIL performing arts must reach specific progress in their extracurriculars to remain at their campus, in addition to receiving administrative director approval.

Gabbard clarified that a legacy student must provide their own transportation, and siblings who do not meet the legacy provisions are not eligible.

On the horizon

School officials said the three new Fulshear area campuses are expected to open by August 2027.
