Residents urge transparency as Fort Bend ISD opens long-range boundary planning survey
Summary
Dozens of residents addressed the Fort Bend ISD Board on Feb. 9, 2026 urging transparent use of long-range boundary planning survey data and asking the district to avoid abrupt school closures or unfair rezoning. Public comment focused on survey methodology, equity, and neighborhood impacts.
Fort Bend ISD President Kristin Tassin called a special-called Board of Trustees meeting to order at 5:01 p.m. on Feb. 9, 2026 in the Administration Building in Sugar Land to open public comment on long-range boundary planning survey data. Dozens of residents appeared in public comment, asking for clarity on how the district will interpret and apply survey responses to future boundary changes.
Speakers at the meeting repeatedly requested that the district publish the survey methodology and response rates and explain how results will be weighted in any decision. For example, Latifah Hada specifically cited the survey data and urged the board to "explain methodologies and how data will be weighted in boundary planning." Commenters including Maria Treminio, Robert Thornton, Cindy Dees and others urged the board to prioritize community engagement, equity, and minimizing student displacement as it evaluates the data. The meeting record shows no board action on the item during this session; the board adjourned following public comment.
