LISD trustees disapprove Coppell neighborhood detachment petition
Summary
On Oct. 7, 2024, the Lewisville ISD Board of Trustees voted 4-0 to adopt a resolution disapproving a petition for detachment and annexation filed by residents of a portion of the Westhaven neighborhood in Coppell, following a public hearing and closed-session legal consultation.
The Lewisville Independent School District Board of Trustees on Oct. 7 disapproved a petition for detachment and annexation for a portion of the Westhaven neighborhood in the City of Coppell.
After a public hearing that included a presentation by Chief Student Services Officer Jeff Kajs and comments from petitioner Jonathan Wang, the board met in closed session to consult with legal counsel under Texas Government Code Section 551.071. The board reconvened in open session at 5:49 p.m. and, on a motion by Trustee Katherine Sells seconded by Trustee Michelle Alkhatib, adopted a resolution finding that detachment would not be in the best interest of Lewisville ISD students educationally, socially, or economically. The motion carried 4-0.
Board President Jenny Proznik opened and closed the public hearing; Kajs presented district staff information and Jonathan Wang spoke for the petitioners. The transcript records no other community members speaking on the petition. The resolution text and any subsequent administrative steps were not specified in the meeting record.
