Spring ISD is considering new attendance boundaries to reflect changes in population density across the district and to adapt to the planned opening of a new middle school and three ninth-grade centers by 2020.
SISD has planned four community meetings in the next two weeks to gather feedback and share information with the public; it also posted an online survey to gather community response.
“Over the last decade, our district has seen a mix of growth and decline across its attendance zone,” SISD Superintendent Rodney Watson said. “This has resulted in some schools operating over building capacity while other schools have space to accommodate more students.”
The proposed changes are intended to even out school capacity across the district and to improve feeder patterns so that all of the students in a given middle school will attend the same high school together.
Short-term changes will go into effect with the start of the 2017-18 school year as will changes to the district’s elementary school attendance boundaries. Long-term proposals, including changes to middle and high school boundaries and feeder patterns, will not go into effect until 2020-21.
The community meetings will provide information to the public and offer an opportunity for residents to provide feedback. They will take place at 6 p.m. at the following schools:
- Thursday, Feb. 16-Dueitt Middle School, 1 Eagle Crossing, Spring
- Thursday, Feb. 16-Wells Middle School, 4033 Gladeridge Drive, Houston
- Thursday, Feb. 23-Bammel Middle School, 16711 Ella Blvd., Houston
- Thursday, Feb. 23-Twin Creeks Middle School, 27100 Old Cypresswood Drive, Spring
The online survey is available in English and Spanish. Parents of current Spring ISD students will receive an email invitation, including a survey link. Community members can share their input through the district’s website
The survey is open Monday, Feb. 13 through Friday, Feb. 24.
