DSISD attendance zone conversations to enter next phase
Dripping Springs ISD is at work to develop new elementary attendance zones for the opening of Cypress Springs Elementary, the district’s fifth elementary school that will welcome students in August of 2021.
Here is an update from the district:
This Past Week:
Earlier this week, the first public meeting to discuss future elementary school attendance zone options was held. Many participants joined the webinar, and others viewed the meeting on YouTube; this link is still active. The meeting featured: an overview of the process and timeline, sharing of board-approved parameters, demographic information and projected enrollments, a review of current boundaries, and an introduction of two “starter option” maps that were created with assistance from the district’s demographer. These maps were introduced as a starting point for discussion regarding future boundaries. Participants shared comments and questions. In addition, a Google survey was launched on Jan. 30 to collect comments.
Next Steps:
Following the public meeting, comments from the meeting and survey were reviewed by district personnel. An FAQ page was created. A meeting was held on Feb. 4 of the Administrative Attendance Zone Committee, which the demographer joined. Starter maps were looked at and potential adjustments were suggested and discussed. This committee is scheduled to meet again Feb. 8, then adjusted maps will be posted.
The second community meeting is scheduled for Feb. 11, 2021, at 6:00 p.m. Stakeholders may access the meeting using two options:
