Spring ISD implements equity recommendations Spring ISD administrators and staff have been chipping away at recommendations from a 2021 study to make the district operate more equitably, according to a Jan. 16 update. In a nutshell In May 2021, the results of a study conducted by education consultants Cambridge Education were shared with SISD’s board, as previously reported by Community Impact . The report examined both progress and areas in need of improvement throughout SISD in the pursuit of equity. SISD has several ongoing efforts, including: • Social-emotional learning activities are now part of the curriculum and professional development courses. • The Department of Guidance and Counseling and Mental Health offers support for teachers
Klein ISD campus projects progress
Recent milestones
66% of employees assigned a cultural competence professional learning course have completed it. 39% of employees have been trained in a cultural humility course compared to 4% in the 2023-24 school year. 3% of employees have been trained in a cultural equity course that launched in June.
Campus renovations are underway at several Klein ISD campuses, according to a Jan. 27 email from KISD officials. The projects Wunderlich Intermediate School will undergo a “comprehensive renovation” for $30 million. Funded by the district’s 2022 bond, construction is slated to be completed in July 2026. Aging roofs at Vistas High, Kohrville Ele- mentary, Kreinhop Elementary, McDougle Elementary and Roth Elementary schools will receive a makeover for a total of $1 million in bond funding. Officials said these projects should wrap up by July. Klein Cain High School’s entryway roof will also be replaced under a warranty for $250,000 by July.
