MONTGOMERY ISD board restates rejection of petition to move McGomery Trace Section 4
Summary
District staff restated that at its Feb. 17 meeting the board unanimously adopted a resolution disapproving Wisdom Adellet’s petition to detach McGomery Trace Section 4 from Connor ISD and annex it to MONTGOMERY ISD, citing insufficient evidence and financial uncertainty under statute 37.0135.
At a meeting to restate actions from Feb. 17, district staff said the MONTGOMERY ISD board unanimously adopted a resolution to disapprove a petition by Wisdom Adellet to detach McGomery Trace Section 4 from Connor ISD and annex it to MONTGOMERY ISD.
The clerk read the board’s findings: evidence that the educational interests of current or future students would be significantly affected was “insufficient and/or speculative,” the social and educational effects were likewise inconclusive, and the economic analysis indicated the proposal failed the ratio test in statute 37.0135 and ‘‘would cause MONTGOMERY ISD to take on substantial debt.’’ The board concluded that the petition ‘‘would not be in the best interest of MONTGOMERY ISD’’ given likely negative economic effects and uncertainty about how any debt would be paid to Connor ISD.
The clerk summarized the board’s formal conclusion: because the educational, social and economic evidence presented was insufficient to justify detachment from Connor ISD and annexation to MONTGOMERY ISD, the board adopted a resolution to disapprove the petition.
No further actions or follow-up steps were specified in the restatement. The restatement was read into the record to correct for an incomplete audio recording of the original Feb. 17 meeting.
