Boundary rezoning process • Oct. 11-22: Community feedback and questions were submitted online through ThoughtExchange. • Oct. 25: The first committee meeting of campus principals and one parent per campus was held. • Week of Oct. 30: Maps, committee information and a survey will be posted online. • Nov. 8: Community members will be able to provide feedback at a listening tour at Tomball Memorial High School’s auditorium at 5:30 p.m. • Nov. 15: A second listening tour will be held at 5:30 p.m. at Tomball High School’s auditorium. • Dec. 4: TISD’s committee will meet again. • Week of Dec. 11: Boundary maps, committee information and a survey will be posted online. • Jan. 8-9: New attendance boundaries will be proposed to the board of trustees, which will consider approval.
On Oct. 10, Tomball ISD administrators out- lined the process for evaluating the attendance boundaries of all 23 campuses, which they aim to redesign by early January. What’s happening “This process will review all attendance boundaries in the district,” TISD Chief of Staff Amy Schindewolf said. “That doesn’t necessarily mean that there will be a change to every atten- dance boundary in the district. It just means that every attendance boundary will be reviewed, and feedback will be gathered.” The boundary reset will help with student population growth, which is forcing some TISD campuses to be near capacity or will cause them to exceed capacity, TISD Chief Operating Officer Steven Gutierrez said. According to TISD, four additional schools— funded by the district’s 2021 bond—are expected to open in the coming school years:
The planned timeline for the boundary rezoning included community feedback submitted online Oct. 11-22, and the first committee meeting of campus principals and one parent per campus held Oct. 25. Additional listening tour meetings are scheduled this fall to gather input from community members before new attendance boundaries are brought before the board in January for consideration. Administrators’ timeline has some flexibility, Schindewolf said in response to questions from trustees, but presenting the boundaries later than February would not be ideal due to West Elemen- tary’s scheduled opening in fall 2024.
