Chron report: Sienna Plantation Parents Speak Up On FBISD Zoning Plans

Sienna Plantation parents question rezoning plan for elementary schools

The Fort Bend Independent School District will conduct a public hearing at 7 p.m. today at Elementary School 39, 3440 Lexington Blvd., Missouri City. Plans to revise secondary attendance zones are to be discussed as the district aims to develop a feeder pattern that tracks pupils from the new elementary to the
same middle and high schools.

Fort Bend Independent School District trustees are expected to announce attendance rezoning plans for the Sienna Plantation area in east Fort Bend County on Feb. 25.

"Everyone agrees that a third elementary school is needed for this rapidly growing area," said Mary Ann Simpson, district spokeswoman, before a Tuesday public hearing. "We're doing what we can to achieve a balance in our rezoning plans."

But not everyone agrees on the best way to revise attendance zones. . .(follow the link below for the full story)
