Waco ISD superintendent reports broad community input on attendance-boundary review
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Spicer told the Waco Independent School District board that more than 1,000 people responded to a district survey about attendance boundaries, with 73% identifying as parents and nearly half saying boundary adjustments would benefit students.
Dr. Spicer, the superintendent of the Waco Independent School District, told the board that the district's attendance boundaries committee met for a second time and reviewed input from a communitywide survey.
"We had more than 1,000 people participate, of which 73% were parents and all campuses were represented," Dr. Spicer said. "Nearly half of the survey takers voted that adjusting attendance boundaries would benefit students, and much of what was shared aligned with what the committee and the board indicated was important to them."
The superintendent said the committee's conversation began with a review of that input; he also reported that he and others highlighted progress on construction for several campuses funded by the district's 2021 bond program.
No formal action on boundary changes was recorded in the excerpted transcript. The board discussion, as reported, focused on the committee's process and community participation rather than a specific proposal or timetable for changing lines.
The superintendent's remarks occurred during the board's regular meeting and were part of the superintendent's report item on the agenda.
