Proposing a P-TECH Nutt said the proposed P-TECH builds on the relationship TISD and LSC-Tomball have formed for Tomball Star Academy, TISD’s early college high school program that launched in August 2017.

Three Tomball entities—Tomball ISD, HCA Houston Healthcare Tom- ball and Lone Star College-Tomball— are working to launch a Pathways in Technology Early College High School, or P-TECH, in health profes- sions, TISD officials said.

Calendars set for 2022-23

Trustees in Tomball and Magnolia ISDs approved the districts’ academic calendars for the upcoming 2022-23 school year during February meetings following recommendations from district committees. Changes to TISD’s calendar for the upcoming school year include a student holiday the Monday before Election Day and the number of half days being reduced, according to the district’s website. Student holidays include Labor Day, the day before and the day of Election Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents Day, Good Friday and Memorial Day. The day before Election Day was made a holiday due to the high number of absences reported this past year with Election Day being a holiday, according to the district.

Additionally, Columbus Day was added as a holiday for the 2022-23 school year, according to the calendar. 2023-24 calendar The TISD trustees also approved the district’s calendar for the fol- lowing 2023-24 school year Feb. 8. Classes will begin Aug. 15, 2023, and school will end May 23, 2024, per the approved calendar. “I think having two years is really beneficial ... really just to give you a chance to look out in the future, make your plans,” trustee Justin Unser said Feb. 8.

In MISD, Deputy Superintendent Jason Bullock said changes to note for the upcoming school year cal- endar include students starting the school year Aug. 11, one day earlier than the ongoing 2021-22 school year, and teachers starting Aug. 2 instead of Aug. 1. In addition, Election Day on Nov. 7 will be a professional development day and student holiday, while the Monday before—Nov. 6—will be a holiday for students and staff. A committee composed of teach- ers, parents, community members and district administrators crafted the recommended calendar.

TOMBALL City Council approved a Tomball Economic Development Corp. agreement with Macy’s Inc. on Feb. 7 for the company to relocate its distribution center to the Lovett Industrial development at the Grand Parkway and Rocky Road in southern Tomball. The company operates out of a facility in Houston but will move to a proposed 900,000-square-foot distribution center within Tomball city limits. “This project will be a major economic catalyst in terms of jobs and capital investment,” TEDC Executive Director Kelly Violette said in a Feb. 7 news release from the TEDC. Lovett Industrial is developing the 240-acre site just west of Hwy. 249, which will include approximately 3.3 million square feet of distribution and light industrial space and create about 1,300 jobs, Community Impact Newspaper previously reported. At the meeting Feb. 7, Violette said Macy’s will be bringing more than 100 employees to the new center. Construction on the facility is expected to begin in March and be completed by mid-2023, the release said. Macy’s also plans to hire additional employees once it moves into the

I just really have a problem that you and your team provide a service and you work for all the people of the county, and it is not acceptable for you to tell anybody that they’ve got to keep the dog for two weeks,” Precinct 3 Commissioner James Noack said during the meeting. Johnson asked commissioners about the possibility of revisiting interlocal agreements with Montgom- ery County municipalities who use county animal services.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY At a Feb. 8 Commissioners Court session, Montgomery County Animal Shelter Director, Aaron Johnson, briefed commissioners on struggles with the shelter’s ability to receive animals. Johnson said the shelter, which accepts intake by appointment, was already struggling with capacity.
