Comal ISD purchases property for new elementary school
Next steps
Garner said the new elementary school was a “long time coming.” He also emphasized the importance of the district purchasing the land since the community voted for it in 2023. “It’s needed for that area,” Garner said. The district is projected to grow by nearly 40,000 students by 2033, according to previous reporting by Community Impact. Comal ISD will be looking at the boundaries and environmental conditions of the property, Lanford said in the email. The design of the elementary school will be presented to the board at a future meeting.
The Comal ISD, or CISD, board of trustees approved the purchase of a 13-acre property from Meyer Ranch, a master- planned residential community led by Crown Community Development, for a new elementary school on April 24. The property cost approximately $3.5 million , according to an email from CISD Communications Specialist Salwa Lanford. The land acquisition is being funded through Comal ISD’s 2023 bond Proposition A. Although the district does not yet know the school’s boundaries, board president Russ Garner told Community Impact that they are anticipating the school to provide relief for enrollment at Bill Brown Elementary and potentially Johnson Ranch Elementary.
