This project involved a comprehensive review of attendance boundaries for multiple NISD campuses to ensure optimal learning environments. The committee addressed safety, class sizes, overcrowding, and efficiency to enhance student experiences. Recommendations were presented to the Board of Trustees, aiming to minimize future changes and provide a solution-based approach. The affected campuses included Adams M.S., Chisholm Trail M.S., Tidwell M.S., Wilson M.S., Curtis E.S., Haslet E.S., Peterson E.S., Nance E.S., as well as additional recommendations for Granger E.S., Hughes E.S., Thompson E.S., Sendera Ranch E.S., Hatfield E.S., and Clara Love E.S. Various concerns and strategies were discussed, focusing on creating a conducive learning environment while addressing community needs. The committee also considered boundary adjustments, transportation provisions, and potential challenges to ensure a smooth transition for students and families.

  6. Elementary 18 Boundaries CURRENT

  7. Granger/Hughes Rezoning • Overall Concerns • Crossing Hwy 170 • Bussing will be provided • Purchased house specifically for Granger • Fast Growth District • Leave current students • Overcrowded School + Hughes Addition CURRENT

  8. Sendera Ranch/Thompson Rezone • Overall Concerns • Crossing Sendara Ranch Blvd • Bussing will be provided • Purchased house specifically for Thompson • Fast Growth District • Leave current students • Overcrowded School + Building Addition CURRENT

  9. Clara Love/Hatfield Rezone • Overall Concerns • Boundary Adjustment to Justin next year (With the opening of E.S. #19) • Not feasible as it would take Justin over capacity • Traffic and access to Love E.S. • Valid concern throughout the district • Leave current students or allow transfer (Incoming 5th graders & siblings) • Expense of added bus routes • Difficult to manage • Potential increase in staffing CURRENT

  10. Current Boundaries

  11. Adams/Chisholm Trail/Tidwell/Wilson Rezone • Overall Concerns • Going to BNHS feeder, returning to EHS (Out of Feeder Pattern) • Ideal but never a guarantee • After school activities w/ siblings who attend EHS (Tidwell vs. Adams) • Overcrowded School • Overcrowded Bus • Not a boundary problem • Road Construction around Tidwell • This is prevalent throughout the NISD • Assurances of attending Adams • Even if provided… Fast Growth = Ever Changing

  12. Leo Adams Boundary Consideration • Leo Adams boundary considerations are shown in blue. • Chisholm M.S., Wilson M.S., and Tidwell M.S. would be all relieved. • The opening of this campus will help relieve over-capacity campuses for a few years, knowing that an additional middle school will be needed in this region of the district. CURRENT

  13. Attendance Boundary Committee Recommendations • Make Boundary Adjustments as provided • Allow for Grandfathering of students who would be in their final year at any given campus, without transportation provided. (Ex: 4th grader this year who will be a 5th grader next year)
