SAN ANGELO ISD prepares to adopt new elementary boundaries; trustees to consider feeder-pattern tweaks

SAN ANGELO ISD staff presented a proposed elementary attendance-boundary map and associated feeder-pattern recommendations at the June 8 pre-agenda meeting and told trustees they will be asked to adopt the map on June 15 with a caveat for minor TEA adjustments.

Dr. Moran said the committee's goal is to balance elementary capacity and keep GT magnet campuses and feeder relationships intact where feasible. The proposal would shift attendance for implementation in fall 2027, allowing families a full year to plan. The map aligns with bond construction plans that expand capacity at several campuses, and staff noted TEA's public map updates remain outstanding for prior minor boundary corrections approved by the district and a neighboring district.

Board staff then walked through the downstream effects on middle schools. Mr. Colbach recommended moving one elementary (Crockett) from Glenn's feeder pattern to Lonear's to create more balanced middle-school enrollment over a multi-year transition. Staff emphasized the recommendation preserves existing GT magnet feeders and proposed grandfathering current middle-school students so those already enrolled would remain at their campus rather than being forced to change mid-program.

What's next: trustees are expected to consider the elementary-boundary adoption at the June 15 meeting. Staff will supply updated capacity tables (excluding fluid pre-K counts where appropriate) and will follow with deeper transfer-policy work and community outreach to clarify options for families.
