FBN: FBISD Discusses Overcrowding and Possible District-Wide Rezoning Plan--

FBISD May Seek Bond Issue In May; District Rezoning, More Growth To Come Later
by Bob Dunn, Oct 23, 2006, 06 44 pm

Fort Bend Independent School District taxpayers likely will be presented with a bond referendum in May to take care of building and facility needs over the coming two years or so.

Meanwhile, groundwork was laid Monday for a long-range facilities plan for FBISD, which probably will include resetting attendance zones district-wide.

In a Monday afternoon workshop, FBISD Board President Steve Smelley also indicated that, once enough data has been gathered to create a plan for rezoning, the district may propose a second bond issue on the heels of one in May, to finance building needs four to eight years from now.

None of those events have been voted on; the purpose of the workshop was to discuss such issues, and at the end of the meeting Superintendent Dr. Timothy Jenney indicated options for bond issues and school rezoning will be presented more formally in two or three weeks for board consideration. . .(click title link above for the rest).
