District to Begin Rezoning Process

Pflugerville ISD has started the process of adjusting school attendance zones as we prepare to open the District's 18th elementary campus, José Riojas Elementary School. The school is located in the Avalon neighborhood, off of Kelly Lane.

“A committee composed of principals, transportation representatives, demographers, and district administrators has been studying the data for the past six weeks and has developed a proposal that we feel will provide the least impact on existing boundaries, while also providing some relief for campuses near capacity like Highland Park and Murchison elementary schools,” said assistant superintendent Randy Reese,  “We are also proposing some adjustments to current middle school attendance boundaries to help better utilize our current capacity and refine high school feeder patterns.”

District stakeholders are invited to attend a series of community meetings to discuss these proposals:

• Tuesday, October 21 – 1st Elementary Input Meeting – Highland Park cafeteria, 7:00 pm
• Monday, October 27 – 2nd Elementary Input Meeting – Murchison cafeteria, 7:00 pm
• Monday, November 3 – 1st Middle School Input Meeting (south) – Copperfield cafeteria, 7 p.m.
• Thursday, November 6 – 2nd Middle School Input Meeting (north) – Park Crest cafeteria, 7 p.m.
• Tuesday, November 18 – Final Elementary Meeting – Rowe Lane Cafeteria, 7:00 pm
• Tuesday, November 18 – Final Middle School Meeting – Pflugerville Middle cafeteria, 7:00 pm

Participants will have the opportunity to provide input related to these proposed changes.  District administrators and principals will be present to answer questions and gather information. 

Letters will be sent home to all addresses that might be impacted by the proposals.  Maps with the proposed changes will be posted on the District Web site and at all affected campuses beginning October 20.  There will be a web-based input form provided for feedback.

The Board of Trustees is expected to consider and approve the final proposals at its December 18 board meeting.

Your participation in this process helps to ensure continuation of quality education for the children of our District.

Considerations for Establishing School Attendance Zone Boundaries

As a fast-growth district, PISD must frequently adjust school attendance zone boundaries to support balanced enrollment at each school and the efficient use of district facilities. It is possible the District will find it necessary to adjust boundaries on an annual basis. It is our intention to maintain a long-range perspective when establishing boundaries. However, as the District’s growth rate increases, it may become necessary to adjust school zone boundaries on an annual basis.

Based upon our commitment to be good stewards of taxpayer resources, while focusing on academic success for all students, the administration has developed the following list of considerations that will guide the drawing of school zone boundaries.

1. Parental Engagement – Attendance zones will maximize parental involvement in students’ educational and school activities.
   • Bilingual attendance zones will permit students to attend a school that is as close to their home campus as possible; additional bilingual campuses will be designated if necessary.
2. Facilities Use – Attendance zones will minimize overcrowding and the use of portable classroom buildings at existing schools.
3. Socioeconomic Factors – Attendance zones will honor the diversity of PISD by attempting to balance the socioeconomic make up of each school.
4. Transportation Costs – Attendance zones will minimize the number of required school bus routes and provide for efficient transportation of students that must be transported.
5. Natural Boundaries – Attendance zones will be delineated by natural boundary lines (major thoroughfares, neighborhood boundaries, etc.)
6. Future District Growth – Attendance zones will recognize future district growth so that lines do not have to be redrawn between scheduled campus openings.
7. Contiguous Boundaries – Attendance zones will include neighborhoods that share boundaries so that communities attending the zoned school are not isolated from one another.
