Medical examiner’s oce nalized
Explaining the role
Medical examiner’s oce sta will be able to assist and take over a number of tasks previously delegated to justices of the peace such as responding to death investigations and assisting families through the investigation process, Dr. Pinneri said. Montgomery County rst launched its forensic services department in 2011; however, the county built a $13 million, 22,000-square-foot forensic center in Conroe in 2022 to keep up with the growing number of death investigations and pathology requests. Texas has a population-based requirement for counties to have a medical examiner’s oce, which increased from 1 million to 2.5 million residents in 2023. However, a county is able to set up the oce at any point before reaching the population requirement.
Montgomery County commissioners nalized the creation of the county’s rst medical examiner’s oce Nov. 19, allowing for the transition of sta and resources from the county’s forensic services department. Dr. Kathryn Pinneri, director of forensic services for the county, presented the need for a medical examiner’s oce during budget workshops in August. Commissioners voted to move forward on the steps to create the oce on Aug, 14 through its $3.2 million budget, which required funding a number of positions including: • Two death investigators • One part-time forensic pathologist • Changing the administrative manager to a forensic operations manager Dr. Pinneri said she believes the transition is a long time coming. The newly created department will remain in the county’s forensic

Conroe ISD trustees shared an update regarding the proposed rezoning process for two of the district’s new elementary schools at the board’s Nov. 19 meeting, and a nal presentation on the proposals could be brought before the board in January, ocials said. The schools are among the projects approved by voters in 2023 as part of a $1.9 billion bond package. Meeting highlights Assistant Superintendent of Operations Chris McCord discussed the process of rezoning and how overcrowding from some of the elementary schools in the district is aecting operational needs. Eissler Elementary School is scheduled to open in August at 14000 Old Conroe Road, Conroe. It will provide overcrowding relief for schools such as Bush, Deretchin and Buckalew elementary campuses within The Woodlands High School feeder zone, with capacity for 950 students, he said. It will preserve some capacity for future growth. Adjustments to several other boundaries in the feeders would also help alleviate overcrowding in several other elementary and intermediate schools, McCord said. McCord said a total of six elementary schools in The Woodlands High School feeder zone are overcapacity, and Buckalew, Powell and Galatas elementary schools have little to no room for additional portable classrooms even at current enrollment numbers. At Bush, there is no room either inside or outside of the school, which is at 110% capacity, McCord said. Mittie J. Campbell Elementary School is scheduled to open in August and located at 15895 Stonecrest Drive, Conroe. It will also provide overcrowding relief in the region to Suchma, Oak Ridge and San Jacinto elementary schools in the Oak Ridge and Caney Creek high school feeder zones, bringing capacity for 950 students as well as preserving some space for growth in future years, he said. “For the Caney Creek feeder, it specically [is] for San Jacinto, a small school at capacity of 750 students. What San Jacinto will have coming is all the growth from Artavia [community] and all the growth coming from Mavera [community],” Conroe ISD to decide rezoning in early 2025

McCord said. Work is underway on schedule on both campuses, McCord said. Some context The district established an Attendance
Boundary Committee to study student growth in the aected areas, and to make a recommendation for attendance boundaries. Through its website, the committee shows several possible rezoning scenarios with map proposals for both of the new schools. As of the Nov. 19 meeting, two scenarios were presented for Eissler, named Scenario 2.2.1 and Scenario 4.1. The main dierence between the proposed Eissler zones is whether a portion of it would be zoned to Deretchin Elementary School. One scenario is
