School attendance boundaries could change when a new school is needed, a need to balance enrollment exists, or when it is determined to be in the best interest of students. This section provides an overview and breakdown of the school attendance boundary process. The school attendance boundary change process includes the development of attendance boundary options by District leaders based on data, including demographic information, school design capacity, and school utilization factors.

Demographic Update
Population and Survey Analysts (PASA) assists Texas school districts in planning for long range utilization of schools by projecting future student enrollment. The Demographic Update includes the study of current student locations, potential growth based on new housing, trends occurring in student relocation patterns throughout the District, and economic factors relevant to both the District and the nation. PASA projects student data for a school district by using forward looking techniques and does not rely on past rates of change.

Annual Enrollment Review
Annually, administration will conduct an annual enrollment review including student enrollment data, updated enrollment projections, current campus utilization, current zoned enrollment, current academic program enrollment, design capacity of each facility, student transportation information, demographic composition of each school, and relevant student achievement data. This review supports planning for efficient building utilization, which may require enrollment management strategies such as capping enrollment at a school, relocating an academic program, utilizing portable classrooms, and limiting or encouraging student transfers. It also studies facility utilization data and campus design capacity data with past trends and projections. Its purpose is to provide an annual, uniform process for the District to ensure equitable and adequate educational opportunities are available for all students throughout the District. Monitoring enrollment trends and planning for future growth is a continuous process in Fort Bend ISD.

The purpose of the facilities planning process is to engage as a collaborative community with students, staff, parents and community members in addressing the District’s facility and programmatic needs while ensuring building utilization supports the District’s Strategic Framework. The Facilities Master Plan Update includes an update on progress toward implementing recommendations approved by the Board, including recommendations to construct new schools, draw new attendance boundaries, and develop new instructional programs that would improve achievement and increase utilization at underutilized schools.
