(ROSENBERG) – Lamar CISD is the fastest growing school district in the State of Texas and enrollment is outpacing the most recent projections from the district’s demographer. As a result, the district is considering various options to accommodate the rapid growth. One set of options involves the construction of facilities financed through the issuance of voter-approved bonds.

In the event that the district does not obtain voter approval for the issuance of bonds, the district currently anticipates implementing a strategy that involves repurposing existing campuses and acquiring portable buildings to accommodate enrollment growth. Even with the approval of bonds, there will be a period of time during the construction of facilities that the district will need to implement a repurposing strategy to address enrollment growth, according to district officials. The district is calling this the “Purple Track Growth Plan.”
The following plan outlines the district’s approach to address capacity challenges at Fulshear High School using a repurposing strategy for the 2023-24 school year and beyond if necessary. This strategy will impact these campuses: Fulshear HS, Leaman JH, Roberts MS, and Lindsey, Tamarron, Huggins, Hubenak, Morgan and Bentley Elementary Schools.
