Proposed boundaries for the Laura Bush Elementary School and the Rick Schneider Middle School will be presented to the Board of Trustees of the Pasadena Independent School District at its Board meeting at 7:30 p.m., on Tuesday, Feb. 28. The proposed boundaries have been the subject of a series of public meetings conducted at various campuses since January.

Bush Elementary School, currently under construction at Blackhawk north of Fuqua, was built to relieve overcrowded conditions at Jessup and Atkinson elementary schools. The proposed boundary also contains within it many of the areas of new growth in the South Belt area. Jessup’s enrollment is expected to drop approximately 300-350 students while Atkinson should see its student enrollment fall by 60-80 students. The school will open in August, 2006.

Schneider Middle School will be the first of the district’s campuses specifically designed for fifth and sixth grade students. Its proposed boundary roughly overlaps the same boundary used by South Houston Intermediate School.

When it opens in August 2006, the campus, located at Bryant and Easthaven, will house fifth graders from the Jessup attendance area who are now attending the Morris Fifth Grade Campus. It will also take fifth graders from Freeman, Matthys, South Houston elementary schools and sixth grade students from South Houston Intermediate. As a result, Morris will see its enrollment drop from 860 students to approximately 710. South Houston Intermediate will fall from 1190 to approximately 920 students. The elementary schools involved in the proposed boundary change will see an enrollment decrease from 60-130, depending on the campus.
