San Angelo ISD unveils proposed elementary rezoning to match 12-campus footprint
Summary
San Angelo ISD trustees reviewed a proposed elementary attendance boundary map for the 2027'28 school year that would rezone students after consolidating from 17 to 12 elementary campuses; the map, informed by six Case Committee meetings and Zonda demographers, seeks to balance capacity and feeder patterns and will return to the board for consideration in June.
San Angelo ISD trustees on May 18 heard a detailed presentation of proposed elementary attendance boundaries that would take effect for the 2027'28 school year, reflecting the district's consolidation from 17 to 12 elementary campuses.
Dr. Moran, who led the presentation, said the proposal is driven chiefly by declining enrollment and by the need to balance building capacities and economically disadvantaged percentages across campuses. He told trustees the Case Committee of roughly 70 community members met six times this spring with demographers from Zonda to build data'driven scenarios and said staff will publish the full map and supporting data for public review.
The proposed map preserves as many current feeder patterns as possible while moving some small neighborhoods between campuses to maintain equitable utilization. Moran noted that Bowie and Reagan are scheduled to close after 2026'27 and that portions of Reagan's zone were split among Fort Concho, Bradford and Goliad in the draft plan. He said McGill, Fannin and Crockett will see capacity increases tied to ongoing and planned capital projects.
Trustees asked about transitions and transfer policies for affected families. Moran said transfers are an administrative function but pledged transparent, board'level conversations so parents can understand options and timelines. He emphasized the board's intent to give families about a year to plan and promised the district would provide real-life scenarios and outreach as the plan is finalized.
The board did not vote on the map May 18; trustees were asked to study the proposal and return in June with questions and a possible vote. Dr. Moran said the next related discussion will address middle-school feeder patterns once the elementary map is settled.
What happens next: The district will post the maps and data on its website, continue community outreach and return to the board for further consideration in June, with potential action before the end of the summer.
