NBISD's CREATE at County Line slated for August opening, offering different educational options

CREATE at County Line—located within County Line Elementary—will use STEM, agriculture, medical exploration, culinary arts, outdoor learning, digital media and performance arts to supplement core instruction. The campus will also work to build leadership and student ownership, according to agenda documents.

Applications opened in November and initially closed in January before reopening through Feb. 28 in response to community feedback. As of now, projected enrollment sits at 312 students. The campus currently serves 295 students, with 142 returning students confirming plans to stay, Behnke said.

The district received 170 applications for kindergarten through second grade, including 52 kindergarteners, 71 first graders and 47 second graders. Applications came from every NBISD elementary campus, Behnke said.

Planning meetings, staff training and family engagement events will continue through the summer, with another board update expected in June, Behnke said.
