Frisco ISD will soon start on HS #11, which is literally against the southeast corner of the district. The HS will be in McKinney's Craig Ranch area. It will now open in 2021, rather than 2022. My take: I think FISD should have stayed with 10 schools and balanced enrollments as needed to stay in a single district and to help as the area ages over time and enrollments decline. However, I get it, they want everyone to be 5A. This will certainly help keep Denison tied to the DFW area in football for a bit. My only question is why the east side? Doesn't look like Liberty needs relief, although Independence certainly does. I don't really get it. www.friscoisd.org/news/district-headlines/2018/11/19/fisd-moves-forward-with-plans-for-high-school-11v3.boardbook.org/Public/PublicItemDownload.aspx?smk=100497 |

Originally scheduled to open in 2024, HS #12 is now scheduled to open in 2022 on land north of Lone Star. I expect that it will open with grades 9-11 and with varsity play. I came across the updated enrollment projections on google and noticed that the schools on the west side won't be able to stay 5A if this school doesn't open until 2022. Did a bit more research and found this. HS #12 will relieve both Lone Star and Memorial. Wakeland and Lone Star could then relieve Reedy. This are beginning to get tricky as the growth slows down. The district is 80% built out, and will likely only need 12 high schools with a max capacity of 2200 when all things are said and done. With a build-out population of 83,000 students, that equates to roughly 6385 students per grade, 25,540 total HS students, and an average HS population of 2128 for the 12 high schools. Info for the updated enrollment projections are under "Why Now" and the tentative schedule is under "Frisco ISD already has 72 schools...". www.friscoisd.org/departments/finance/2018-bond-tre/frequently-asked-questions |

Due to high growth in Lake Ridge's attendance zone, Mansfield ISD has re-drawn the HS boundaries (see plan 3 in the link below). These will take effect in 2020. Snapshot Day 2019 will determine the 2020 realignment, so will strategically have the following enrollments: Lake Ridge 2747 Legacy 2069 Mansfield 2325 Summit 2186 Timberview 2179 That means Lake Ridge and Mansfield are the only locks for 6A. However, the 5 high schools will play 5A ball in 2020 with these numbers: Lake Ridge 2438 Legacy 2289 Mansfield 2522 Summit 2250 Timberview 2285 Yes, all 5 high schools will have 6A numbers in 2020, but likely only 2 of them will play 6A ball. Gerrymandering at its finest, folks. www.mansfieldisd.org/uploaded/schools/assets/attendance-zones/azMap-proposed-HighP2020.pdf |

Expect Fort Bend ISD to announce its rezoning plan recommendation in February. If you scroll down midway, you can see the options. Option 1 provides the most balance (keeps southeast schools under 100% utilization until 2028, while increasing enrollments at Marshall and Willowridge) and will also make for an easy transition to HS #12, which won't be built before 2024. There are 3 other options. If Option 1 is chosen, the 2021 snapshot day numbers (for the 2022 realignment) could look like this: Elkins 2132 Hightower 2138 Marshall 2113 Ridge Point 2318 Willowridge 1956 That means 2022 would likely see 4 of these schools in 5A D1, before 2024 when all 11 FBISD schools could be 6A (depending on if HS #12 is built by then). v3.boardbook.org/Public/PublicItemDownload.aspx?smk=101549 |

We had some folks advising my wife and I about the ”Master-Planned Community” and how it was a “can’t miss investment.” My wife was pregnant at the time and I had no interest in being rezoned every other year. Took over 10 years but she finally admitted “we” made the right decision. |

Should be good for a while, but you never know what these ringleaders will suggest next.. Avoid the major highways and things will remain small town Texas. I’ve traveled on Business and vacation a lot in my life and here aren’t many places like Texas. Bonham or East will buy a lot of time. My wife was hinting about moving out of State again tonight. Our youngest has grown roots so I don’t see us leaving until they are in College. |

Wonder if Alvin's new school will be known as Iowa Colony where the new school will be near.

Not a new school, but it does have some ties for the future. Aledo is projected to have 3461 HS students by 2027, which will put the district in a predicament. Will they finally cave and build a second high school or try to hold on a little longer? I have a feeling they will hold off as long as possible. More specifically, I could see the freshman center getting an expansion to add 10th grade. That would be the least expensive way to hold things together for a few more years. If they cave in early to add a 2nd school, the question will be how big and if it will have a 9th grade center. Aledo HS holds around 2000 kids. The 9th grade center holds about half that, meaning it could be turned into a MS if needed, allowing Aledo to move forward as a 5A school. Then, HS #2 could have a similar capacity, but another HS would likely need to be built soon after. Alternatively, Aledo could keep it's 3000-capacity setup for AHS, and HS #2 could be built with a similar capacity, extending the need for only 2 high schools. The only question left in that scenario is if all the grades are in one building at HS #2. Whatever they choose, it would be smart to figure it out sooner rather than later. AHS Enrollment Projections: 2019 - 1876 2020 - 1951 2021 - 2094 2022 - 2292 2023 - 2403 2024 - 2658 2025 - 2875 2026 - 3190 2027 - 3461 At 1876 students in 2019, Aledo will fall along the 5A D1/D2 line for the 2020 alignment. 2094 projected students in 2021 means AHS would be a 5A D1 lock for the 2022 alignment, IF those numbers hold. Aledo is virtually guaranteed to go 6A in 2024. v3.boardbook.org/Public/PublicItemDownload.aspx?ik=42815429 |
