Cy-Fair ISD developing 6-year improvement plan The district’s new long range planning commit- tee—composed of parents, students, district sta and other community members—is working to create a strategic six-year plan for CFISD’s facility and infrastructure needs. In a nutshell Goals of the committee include: Assessing current enrollment Consider attendance boundary shifts
Blinn College to open new campus The Blinn College District will soon have a new 17,000-square-foot facility dedicated to workforce training and technical education, according to a Sept. 15 news release. What we know Named the Waller Workforce and Technical Education Complex, the facility will sit on Binford Park Road with three lecture class- rooms, a computer learning lab, a medical learning lab and a skilled trades lab. “We are equipping students with the skills they need to succeed while helping drive the region’s continued growth,” Jay Anderson, vice chancellor for applied sciences, work- force and economic development, said. The complex is expected to be done in time for summer 2026 classes, the release said.
Identify aging facilities and their condition
According to a Sept. 8 presentation by CFISD Chief of Sta Teresa Hull, the committee will assess the district’s security, transportation, instructional technology and infrastructure. The committee will use a variety of information to develop its plan, including Population and Survey Analysts surveys, historical and current student enrollment, average campus operating costs, and the district’s parent survey. The committee held its rst meeting Sept. 29 and will present monthly updates at board meetings, with a nal recommendation by early February, Hull said.
