SCUCISD approves policy for out-of-district transfers
Judson ISD bond project cost increases The Judson ISD board of trustees approved a change to a construction services contract for Cibolo Creek Middle School on March 26. The project includes roof modi cations, painting four re hydrants and more, according to board documents. What you need to know The contract change is being funded by the district’s 2022 bond. The contract would add $641,000 to the project, bringing the total cost to $81.21 million. It will expire once all work is completed, according to board documents. The original project cost was $80.32 million, but in June 2025, trustees approved an additional $250,000 for contingency costs, increasing the total at the time to $80.57 million.
Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD is planning a new initiative to increase enrollment for students living outside of the district. On March 26, Executive Director of Elementary Education Sarah Dauphinais gave a presentation on limited enrollment for out-of-district transfers to schools with lower enrollment. The program will begin during the 2026-27 school year. The details Dauphinais said out-of-district transfers allow SCUCISD to strengthen enrollment at under-ca- pacity campuses and attract families seeking “high-quality learning environments.” The program will be open to students in kindergarten through sixth grade at ve participating campuses. To qualify for the program, students must demonstrate strong academic and behavioral records. Program applications will be open until April 24, and will be reviewed in the order they are submitted.
