Rezoning for Intermediate number ten, next.

Thanks to the Klein community’s overwhelming passage of the 2015 bond...

we’ve been able to build new schools, remodel and refurbish existing schools, purchase technology and buses, work on safety and security needs, and more.

One of the largest projects funded by the bond is the much needed intermediate school number ten located next to Metzler Elementary on West Rayford Road in the far northern part of our district.

The construction of intermediate number ten is moving quickly as the school is scheduled to open in August of 2018.

Whenever a new school opens, attendance zones must be established.

As boundaries for the new school are being considered, the capacity of other intermediate schools that are near or over-capacity is reviewed and considered so they also get some relief.

Our demographers and staff have been working behind the scenes to update student growth projections so that the zoning committee has accurate and timely data.

This committee is comprised of campus and parents representatives of each school that could potentially have attendance zone changes.

The meetings are open to the public and results are posted on the district website.

An online public comment opportunity is also made available from mid-December through January.

We encourage you to either attend the meetings or keep up with the work online and send us your thoughts.

The meetings, held at the Klein Central Office, are November first and December sixth with sessions at 1 PM and 6 PM on both days.

While attendance zoning is challenging work, we love that Klein ISD continues to be a district of choice for people moving to the area!

This year, we even surpassed our student growth projections, making attendance zoning even more important to accomplish.

To get there, we look forward to working with our community on this rezoning effort.

And that’s Klein ISD for this week, in 90 seconds. Have a great day!
