ESD 10 plans for future stations

Construction coming for Hardin Store Road Engineering work is still underway for a project to improve the intersection of Hardin Store Road and Hwy. 249, and construction is anticipated to start in early 2024, Montgomery County Precinct 2 Commissioner Charlie Riley said Nov. 9. In a nutshell “There’s [going to be] three new lanes, widening of the lanes and aligning the intersection,” Riley said. He said the $7 million to $10 million project is being funded with toll road revenue. Rosehill Fire Department ends as ESDs take over Harris County Emergency Services Districts No. 3 and No. 21 are now the direct providers of emergency services after ending their contracts with the Rosehill Fire Department on Nov. 1, Nicole Pierce, who serves as counsel for both ESDs, said in an interview Nov. 7. Both ESDs will continue to split the services, with ESD No. 3 providing emergency medical services and ESD No. 21 providing fire services. “I think the big reason was just the growth in the area,” Pierce said. Put in perspective In a letter shared on its Facebook page Nov. 2, the Rosehill Fire Department said it began in 1963. The department covered around 100 square miles, but after nearby fire departments expanded, the coverage area became 48 square miles. “Unfortunately the proverb states, ‘All good things must come to an end’ also applies to successful organizations,” the Rosehill Fire Department wrote in the letter. “The government

Montgomery County Emergency Services District No. 10, which serves the Greater Magnolia area, purchased two more prop- erties that will serve as the sites for new fire stations, according to an Oct. 26 news release. ESD 10 purchased two other properties back in June, according to prior reporting. In a nutshell According to the press release, the new properties include: • 5 acres on Patricia Lane for $830,000 • nearly 32 acres on Coe Loop for $2.5 million Plans and designs are underway; a construction timeline is not set. “These purchases demonstrate that ESD 10 commissioners and Magnolia Fire Department command staff are strategically investing in emergency response for the future,” ESD 10 board President Larry Smith said in the release.

officials that for years had supported our orga- nization have decided to undertake the services themselves.” What else? Ira Coveler—a partner attorney at Coveler & Peeler P.C., the firm that represents both ESDs— said there will not be a decrease in the level of service being provided.

Construction begins on Tomball’s alleys Construction began this fall on Phase 1 of Tomball’s alley improvement project, which will improve the alleyways to be more walkable and add a public restroom to downtown. The city’s portion—which includes paving, utility relocations, communication and electri- cal conduits, dumpster pads, and the additional restroom—is estimated to be completed in spring 2024, Assistant City Manager Jessica Rogers said in an email.

The Tomball Economic Development Corp. is doing the project’s beautification elements, Community Impact previously reported. Phase 1 involves the 100 blocks north and south of Main Street and the 200 north block, according to the city’s website. What else? Part of Phase 1, a pocket park is set for the corner of North Cherry and Commerce streets and will include a public restroom, according to previous reporting. The only existing public restrooms are at the Tomball Depot Plaza. The park’s initial design plan includes a raised deck with seating, artificial turf and a turf play mound, per TEDC renderings.

Harris County approves $863M flood agreement Harris County commissioners approved an agreement with the Texas General Land Office Oct. 31 for a combined $863 million in grant funding to the Harris County Flood Control District that will be allocated for flood-risk reduction projects associated with the 2018 flood control district bond program. Explained Two grants were approved, and each grant has different mandated completion dates, according to court documents. The federal funding comes from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and is administered by the GLO. • Projects funded by a $322 million grant must be completed by March 31, 2026. Projects funded by a $541 million grant must be completed by March 31, 2028.

Harris County awards child care grants Harris County commissioners awarded five organizations a combined $18.8 million in grants Oct. 31 to improve child care quality over the next three years. The new initiative is called Early Learning Quality Networks and was fully funded by American Rescue Plan Act funds. The impact A July report by nonprofit Children at Risk found one-third of all ZIP codes in Texas qualify as child care deserts, meaning there are at least three times more children eligi- ble for early child care than the number of available seats. Children at Risk is one of the five groups to receive funds, alongside the East Harris County Empowerment Council, VN Teamwork, YMCA of Greater Houston and Harris County Public Library.

June 6 Harris County commissioners approve application to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for disaster recovery funding. July 18 Commissioners authorize the Harris County Flood Control District to work with the state on a direct allocation of $502.5 million . During negotiations, an additional $39.35 million was offered by the GLO, resulting in the total allocation of $541.85 million . October 31 Commissioners approve the combined $863.88 million in federal funds, including a past allocation of $322.03 million in Community Development Block grants.

Construction on Woodtrace Boulevard to begin in 2025 project is broken down into three sections: • From FM 2978 to Dobbin-Huffsmith Road • From Dobbin-Huffsmith Road through the Shea Homes Woodhavyn residential development Shea Homes development

The bulk of the construction to extend Wood- trace Boulevard to FM 2978 will begin in 18-24 months, or around 2025, Montgomery County Precinct 2 Commissioner Charlie Riley said in a Nov. 9 interview. “And I hope it’s a whole lot sooner than that, but I’m afraid it’s going to be at least 18 months before we see construction,” Riley said. Riley said work has been done at the inter- section of Woodtrace Boulevard and Dob- bin-Huffsmith Road. From Dobbin-Huffsmith Road to FM 2978, the base material for the road is in. “It’s not a so-called road right now,” Riley said about the portion of the project from Dob- bin-Huffsmith Road to FM 2978. “It’s a road that you can use as a construction road.” In a nutshell The extension project will construct a four-lane road extending Woodtrace Boulevard to FM 2978, Community Impact previously reported.

• From the Shea Homes development to Hwy. 249 Riley said he believes this project will improve east to west traffic tremendously. By the numbers Riley said the project will cost around $100 million, with Precinct 2 funding the design and engineering while the Texas Department of Trans- portation funds the construction. “[TxDOT] wants that connection as bad as us,” Riley said. “So they’re willing to help us with the construction of it if we can do all the rest of the design and engineering.” The Westwood Magnolia Parkway Improvement District is also donating around $8 million to help fund the first phase of the project, according to

prior Community Impact reporting. What else? Riley said the hardest part will be the portion from Hwy. 249 to Dobbin-Huffsmith Road. “There’s two railroad crossings that we have to build overpasses over, and that’s going to take a [lot of] time ... just trying to get the permits, get the design and engineering done for these overpasses,” Riley said.

Magnolia ISD redraws elementary boundaries

Current elementary boundaries

What’s happening?

Magnolia Parkway

Magnolia

Bear Branch

New boundaries are expected to go into eect in August. “While creating these zones, we tried to look further than just next year,” said Deanie Murry, MISD’s long-range planning coordinator. “We want to give relief to other campuses for several years to come until we need another bond in the future.” Meyers said the proposed attendance zones will aect approximately 980 students across the existing boundaries for Williams, Magnolia, Magnolia Parkway and Smith elementary campuses, with the majority of students coming from neighborhoods in Audubon and the central corridor of the district. “The opening of Audubon Elementary will help alleviate the overcrowding that is happening in the central part of the district while also balancing enrollment across the district. The proposed map is based on guiding principles and the idea of not having elementary students move multiple times during their primary years,” Superintendent Todd Stephens said.

Magnolia ISD started the rezoning process of elementary school boundaries in September in anticipation of the opening of Audubon Elementary in August, the rst new elementary campus to open in the district since 2005 at which time elementary boundaries last changed. Audubon is a part of the $232 million bond voters approved in 2022, which also includes funds to build new intermediate and junior high schools. District ocials said the three new schools will help MISD address the continued growth of the district. As of the fall 2022-23 semester, a total of 5,353 students were enrolled across MISD’s eight elementary campuses. A 10-year forecast by Templeton Demographics in 2023 predicts enrollment at the elementary level will grow to over 8,000 students by 2032, an increase of 51.54%. Denise Meyers, executive director of communications, said the proposed elementary school boundaries will be brought to the board for consideration Dec. 11.

expected to be within 10% of capac- ity by 2025-26 followed by Magnolia Elementary reaching capacity in 2027-28. In a perfect world, Meyers said dividing the 5,600 elementary students by nine elementary schools would place 622 kids per campus. However, enrollment projections do not include special programs, such as special education and bilingual programs, which are concentrated at certain campuses. Zooming out, the district is expected to reach a total enrollment of more than 17,200 students by the 2026-27 school year and more than 22,000 students by 2031-32, accord- ing to the demographic study.

According to a district housing overview by MISD, there are 22,878 future lots identified in neighbor- hoods currently zoned to Magnolia Elementary, followed by Magnolia Parkway with 7,950 lots and Wil- liams with 3,519 future lots. Enrollment capacity at every elementary school is 900 students, according to data from the district. As of Sept. 8, Williams Elemen- tary had 856 students enrolled, Magnolia Elementary had 689 students, and Magnolia Parkway had 846 students. By the 2025-26 school year, Magnolia Parkway and Williams are projected to reach over 1,000 students, according to the demographic study. Cedric Smith Elementary is

• 20,000 interactions, including comments and reactions “Class sizes should be small. Teachers should have the time needed to teach students in a more focused manner, which is only possible through smaller teacher-to-student ratios,” the top-rated comment read. Meyers said the sentiment is shared across the district. “The culture out here is that parents want to keep that small- town feel, and what that means is keeping our schools at a manage- able size,” she said.

MISD has gathered parent feedback via listening tours and surveys. The first survey asked what factors parents believe the district should prioritize when adjusting the boundaries. According to results from ThoughtExchange, a management solution company used by the district to conduct anonymous surveys, parents’ top concerns included keeping class sizes and the student-to-teacher ratios small. The survey garnered: • Almost 1,500 participants • 829 shared thoughts

What’s next

Although new boundaries go into effect in August, students who will be in fourth grade during the 2024-25 school year may opt to remain at their current campus through MISD’s transfer process. Meyers said a similar boundary process will start for the new intermediate and junior high school in September, which are expected to open in 2025.

MISD officials presented the proposed boundaries to the board Nov. 13. With no changes requested from the board, the boundaries will be brought for approval Dec. 11. “I like that it’s methodical and timely, and paced,” board President Gary Blizzard said Nov. 13. “It’s going to hopefully result in something that everyone is happy with.”

Tomball ISD hosts rst meetings on boundary reset From the cover

Digging deeper

What you need to know

Current enrollment projections predict three schools will surpass enrollment capacity by the 2024-25 school year and ve more schools will exceed capacity within ve years, according to TISD’s boundary reset website. With the addition of four new schools to TISD, district leaders anticipate campuses will avoid surpassing enrollment capacity until at least the 2030-31 school year, according to a presentation at the Oct. 10 trustee meeting.

Salazar-Zamora said during the district’s rst listening tour Nov. 8. “With that, … individuals will have to go to new schools.” Within seven school years, eight TISD schools are expected to exceed capacity if no boundary changes are made or new schools are added, according to enrollment projections posted on TISD’s boundary reset website. “Tomball ISD is a fast-growth school district. … Our student enrollment is exceeding building capacity in many areas of the district,” TISD ocials said in an email. Three map drafts each for elementary, intermediate, junior high and high school boundaries were published on TISD’s website in early November. A fourth plan, incorporating parent comments made during two listening tours, was posted in mid-November.

Tomball ISD administrators are evaluating attendance boundaries for all campuses—which trustees are slated to consider Jan. 9—for the 2024-25 school year. On Oct. 10, TISD leaders announced the campus boundary reset process, with the new zoning set to take eect in August when West Elementary School opens. The need for a boundary redesign comes from student population growth and new schools that will be opening, TISD administrators said in a Nov. 9 email. Four schools—funded by TISD’s $494.46 million 2021 bond—will open from August 2024 to August 2026. “We’re thankful to the voters that have allowed us the opportunity to build new schools, so we don’t continue to have overcrowding,” TISD Superintendent Martha

The new schools include: West Elementary School • Opening: 2024-25 school year • Bond funds allocated: $32.55 million West Intermediate School • Opening: 2025-26 school year • Bond funds allocated: $39.74 million Intermediate School No. 5* • Opening: 2026-27 school year • Bond funds allocated: $54.6 million Tomball West High School • Opening: 2026-27 school year • Bond funds allocated: $195.59 million

In their own words

Next steps

In November, the district held two listening tour stops at Tomball Memorial and Tomball high schools where parent feedback was gathered on drafted maps for the boundary redesign. “It is often hard to think about leaving a community, a school, a zone, an area in which you are very comfortable and you have been very happy. One of the things that we say is, ‘In Tomball, ISD, it really doesn't

The district hopes to present the nalized maps to trustees Jan. 8, and trustees will vote on the boundary realignments Jan. 9. TISD’s District Zone Committee had not recommended a nal rezoning plan as of press time Nov. 21. • Dec. 4: The District Zone Committee will meet. • Jan. 8-9: Attendance boundaries will be presented to the board, who will consider the changes. • Aug. 14: New boundaries, if approved, will be implemented for the start of the 2024-25 school year as West Elementary opens.

“My main concerns are where siblings could possibly be split between two high schools. My daughter would be a junior at Tomball Memorial when the new school opens, and my son would be a freshman. It's upsetting to me to think that my two children would attend two dierent high schools.” BRIANNA VU, TISD PARENT AND WILDWOOD AT OAKCREST RESIDENT “We are not in favor of the rezoning proposal. It is currently 79 minutes to our schools. Y'all are asking our students to be 2540 minutes from the school. This has negative impacts on academics.” ROXANN BACCHUS, TISD PARENT AND LAKES AND THE ENCLAVE AT NORTHPOINTE RESIDENT

Creekside Park-area families protest proposed campus

About three dozen protesters outside Tomball ISD’s administration building Nov. 13-14 voiced disapproval of a proposed intermediate school that would serve families from the Creekside Park area. The overview TISD’s $54 million Intermediate School No. 5 was originally proposed as an elementary school during the district’s 2021 bond campaign, but the project was changed to an intermediate school serving grades 5-6 in April to accommodate growth in the Creekside Park area, Community Impact reported. The school outlined in the bond campaign has been planned for the Tomball Innovation Center at FM 2920 and Hufsmith-Kohrville Road. What they’re saying On Oct. 10, district leaders presented a feasi- bility study exploring the option of building the intermediate school at Creekside Park Junior High. The study found it would not be viable. “If you don’t want to build on the junior high site, then rent property or build onto the existing schools; use portables,” said Christi Davis, a parent of three Timber Creek Elementary School children, during the public comment portion of the Nov. 14 board meeting. “I personally would support practi- cally anything that does not have a long commute for our children.” Although bus routes have yet to be created, TISD administrators said in a Nov. 9 email the one-way bus commute estimated to range from 17 minutes to 40 minutes is standard for the district. “Depending on your location within the north- east portion of TISD, the distance to the Tomball Innovation Center is between 3-8 miles, which is consistent with the distances other students and

Sorting out details TISD leaders are also in the process of evaluating attendance boundaries for all 23 campuses. “The decision to place Intermediate School No. 5 at the TIC is not the driving factor of the [district zone reset] process; our continued fast growth across the district and building new schools as part of Bond 2021 are the driving factors,” TISD leaders said in a Nov. 9 email.

families travel to their intermediate school. ... While we wish every student could walk or bike to school, it simply isn’t possible for many of our students,” TISD ocials said in the statement. At the Nov. 14 meeting, trustee Michael Pratt said he has not seen viable options for the inter- mediate school besides the TIC. Superintendent Martha Salazar-Zamora said the administration continues to explore various options, including meeting with sta from The Woodlands Township. The school is slated to open in the 2026-27
