Public gets chance to comment on BISD redistricting
• By Kurt Mogonye___________________
• Staff Writer
Boerne ISD will hold the first of two public meetings on
redrawing attendance zones for the district’s elementary
and middle schools tonight at 6 p.m. in the BISD central
office, 123 Johns Rd.
Residents are welcomed to share comments during dis-
cussion of the proposed changes that will go into effect for
the 2006-07 school year when the new elementary campus
is complete. Notices of tonight’s meeting were sent home
with students on Tuesday, Oct. 11.
An additional public meeting will be held on Monday,
Oct. 24 at 6 p.m. in the same location for residents who
missed the first meeting. A final recommendation will be
presented to trustees at their Dec. 5 meeting for approval.
The rezoning is necessary to set boundaries once the new
school opens to spread students evenly across BISD’s five
elementary and two middle school campuses.
School officials will present information and give par-
ents an opportunity to express their concerns.
Maps outlining the proposed boundaries will be present-
ed at the meeting, and are currently available on the dis-
trict’s Web site, along with a listing of subdivisions and
zone boundaries proposed for each campus. Visit
www.boerne-isd.net and follow the “Proposed Rezoning
06/07” link to print or view the proposal, as well as the
current attendance zones.
According to Don Tillis, director of school facilities, the
proposed rezoning will affect elementary and middle
school students as the district attempts to place students in
schools nearest their homes while balancing enrollment
and economic diversity between campuses.

The proposed plan also considers future growth to help
alleviate rezoning again once Boerne’s new high school
opens and a sixth elementary campus is constructed.
Tillis first presented the proposed zones along with sev-
eral plans that include optional grandfathering for the
upcoming school year at last month’s board meeting.
Under that proposal, second, third and fourth graders
presently attending Curington Elementary due to the
2003-04 Fair Oaks Ranch and Kendall Elementary rezon-
ing may continue to attend Curington or transfer to the
new elementary school.
The grandfathering proposal also notes that present fifth
and eighth graders will have the option of finishing the
next grade level at their current school, but if the student
resides outside that campus’ zone, BISD would not pro-
vide transportation to-and-from school.

Staff Writer
The Kendall County Sheriff’s
Department recently received a
check for $56,170.53 from the
United States Treasury as their
share of money found in a nar-
cotics arrest last year.
Sheriff Roger Duncan said the
funds will be placed into a
“seized funds” account that is
used for the benefit of the staff.
He plans to spend some on new
body armor for deputies on
patrol, as well as for advanced
