Dear Fort Bend ISD Parents, Staff and Community Members, 

Last night, the Fort Bend ISD Board of Trustees approved key components of the district’s Long-Range Boundary Planning (LRBP) process.  Nearly a year ago, we launched this process, which included community engagement, data analysis, and careful consideration of enrollment trends across the district.  

The FBISD Board of Trustees' approvals include: 

• Closure/consolidation of seven elementary schools 
  • Austin Parkway Elementary
  • Dulles Elementary 
  • Fleming Elementary 
  • Glover Elementary 
  • Mission West Elementary 
  • Ridgegate Elementary 
  • Sugar Mill Elementary
• Implementation of districtwide elementary attendance boundary changes, and 
• Attendance boundaries for the opening of Amy Coleman Middle School 

These decisions were not easy to make because they affect our students, our schools and our communities at a personal level.  

Throughout this process, our focus has remained on doing what is best for students, both today and in the years ahead. By aligning our campuses with current enrollment trends, we can strengthen academic programs, maximize resources, and ensure every student has access to the high-quality learning opportunities they deserve

We want to express our thanks to the School Boundary Advisory Committee (SBAC) for their time and commitment to this process. The Board’s action reflects a commitment to making thoughtful decisions that position Fort Bend ISD for long-term stability and student success. 

Our schools are at the heart of our communities, which is why decisions like this carry so much weight. The FBISD Board of Trustees approached this process with great care, listening to families, reviewing the data, and asking difficult questions. The Board action last night reflects our commitment to making thoughtful, forward-looking decisions that support students, staff, and the long-term health of our district.

In addition to the boundary changes and school consolidations, the Board approved the attendance boundaries for Amy Coleman Middle School, which will open for the 2026-27 academic year. The new campus will help balance enrollment across nearby middle schools while providing students with modern learning spaces designed to support collaboration, innovation, and academic excellence. 

District leaders will begin working closely with affected campuses and families to support a smooth transition ahead of the 2026–27 school year. Additional information, including transition timelines and campus support plans, will be shared with families in the coming weeks.
