Sugar Land school zones updated after closure of elementary schools

Some Sugar Land areas will see updated speed regulations in school zones after the closure of seven Fort Bend ISD elementary schools. 

In a nutshell

At a Nov. 3 meeting, Sugar Land City Council members voted unanimously to remove school zones for three Fort Bend ISD schools closed ahead of the 2026-27 school year. Additional school zones were also updated, according to agenda documents. 

The details

Of the seven elementary schools Fort Bend ISD approved to close in March, three fall within the Sugar Land city limits, including Austin Parkway, Sugar Mill and Dulles elementary schools. The council voted to eliminate all three school zones, but neighboring campuses’ school zones on Dulles Avenue still exist with shorter time windows. 

Other changes include:

• Updating start and end times for various schools by a few minutes

• Reducing the speed limit for Logos Preparatory Academy from 35 to 30 miles per hour

• Updating parking regulations on Brooks Street to match new school zone times

• Delaying Fort Bend Christian Academy school zone windows by about an hour in the morning and afternoon 

• Extending the Walker Station Elementary School zone on Homeward Way 280 feet to the west to accommodate a pedestrian bridge and new driveway

The ordinance went into effect on Nov. 3, which allowed staff to start updating school zone signs.
