As Lamar CISD continues to grow with over 40 new housing developments, the Board of Trustees and staff have looked closely at the most efficient way to utilize existing facilities.
In October, the Board of Trustees reviewed the Master Plan Principles that were adopted in 1995. The Master Plan Principles consist of several principles that have guided decisions about location of schools, grade configuration, size of school, ethnic distribution, attendance zones, and space for special populations.
Current Master Plan Principles
- To maximize enrollment at all campuses
Elementary schools - 750 maximum
Middle schools - 1400 maximum
High schools - 2000 maximum
Proposed Change
- To maximize enrollment at all campuses
Elementary schools - 750 maximum
Middle schools (6) – 750 maximum
Junior high schools (7-8) - 1300 maximum
High schools – 2300 maximum
- Grade configuration for new construction would be 6-8 for junior high schools. This configuration would facilitate reduction in operating expenses. Core facilities would be built to house 1300 students.
- Core facilities for new high school construction would be built for 2300 students.
The Board of Trustees approved the first reading of the proposed changes to the Master Plan Principles in December. The second reading will be on the January 23rd Board meeting agenda with a final vote. The meeting will be held at 7:00 pm at the Brazos Crossing Administration building.
