School Boundary Committee Releases Recommendations for 2010-2011

The School Boundary Advisory Committee (SBAC), comprised of 27 citizens representing the entire district, has developed a set of recommendations for public feedback and ultimately for consideration by the Clear Creek Independent School District Board of Trustees. The Board will have final approval on school boundaries for the 2010-2011 school year. The purpose of the SBAC was to populate Clear Falls High School, Bayside Intermediate, and even out the population across all high school attendance boundaries.

Four public hearings will be held in December in order for the committee to receive feedback from the community. Those meetings are scheduled from 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. on December 8, 2009 at Clear Brook High School; December 10, 2009 at Clear Springs High School; December 15, 2009 at Clear Lake High School; and December 17, 2009 at Clear Creek High School. A final recommendation will be presented to the CCISD Board of Trustees during its January general meeting. Following is a summary of the committee’s recommendations with associated proposed maps:
Clear Falls High School, under the proposed plan, will include all students who live in the Seabrook Intermediate, Bayside Intermediate, and the Hyde Elementary attendance zones.

Bayside Intermediate, under the proposed plan, will include all students who live in the Sandra Mossman Elementary and Stewart Elementary attendance zones.

All students who live in the Ralph Parr Elementary attendance zone, under the proposal, will go to Clear Creek High School. Currently the Ralph Parr attendance zone feeds into Clear Springs High School.

All students who live in the Whitcomb Elementary attendance zone, under the proposal, will go to Clear Lake High School. Currently a portion of Whitcomb Elementary attendance zone feeds into Clear Brook High School.

When opening a new high school, the practice in CCISD is the incoming 9th grade and 10th grade students will transfer to the new school, the junior and senior classes remain. The SBAC is recommending to the Board that this practice apply to all high schools affected by the proposal. When opening a new intermediate school, all incoming 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students will transfer to the new school. Parents may seek a waiver for 8th grade but will need to provide transportation.
