The Board of Trustees approved the 2019 major maintenance projects, reviewed the district’s performance on an annual Texas scorecard and continued the discussion for a 2020-21 middle school attendance zoning change at its Feb. 21 meeting.

Review the entire agenda.

Trustees consider middle school zoning scenarios, ask for community feedback

Trustees are asking for more community input as they review all middle school attendance zones for the 2020-21 school year and the opening of Danielson Middle School. Following feedback on two community surveys, LISD staff presented Scenario A for consideration. Scenario A accomplishes the following outcomes:

  • provides relief for Stiles and Leander middle schools;
  • eliminates small cohorts in middle school to high school feeder patterns of Running Brushy Middle School to Cedar Park High School & Henry Middle School to Cedar Park HS;
  • moves Wiley MS students zoned to Glenn High School to Danielson Middle School;
  • raises the Cedar Park Middle School enrollment to 1,500 students; and
  • Makes no changes to the attendance zones of Canyon Ridge and Four Points middle schools.

For a complete list of the neighborhood codes (NBCDs) displayed on the map, please reference the following tools: NBCDs by subdivision | NBCDs by street.

Board approves major maintenance, bond project proposals

Construction and capital renewal projects will continue as the Trustees acted on the following projects:

  • resurfacing the track at Cedar Park High School, Four Points Middle School and Henry Middle School;
  • replacing water heaters at Bagdad, Cypress and Reagan elementary schools, and Cedar Park High School;
  • replacing deteriorated vinyl composition tile (VCT) in LEO Phase II;
  • cleaning and sealing the exterior walls at Running Brushy Middle School and the Science Materials Center; and
  • replacing carpet at Naumann Elementary School.

The Board also approved the Cedar Park Middle School HVAC updates and security upgrades. Both projects were approved by voters as part of the 2017 Bond.
