December 11, 2024 Meeting

  • During the meeting, the committee was given the opportunity to review plans prepared by Zonda Education. Due to short-term capacity issues, the committee eliminated Draft Plans #1 and #2, leaving two of the four plans for community input.  Please click the links below to view the remaining options:  Plans #3 and #4.

    Plan #3

    Pros:  

    • Long term capacity
    • Enrollment distribution: new campus has fewer students
    • Crossing CR 313 is not required
    • All Jarrell Elementary students feed into Jarrell Ranch
    • All Igo Elementary students feed into Jarrell Middle

    Cons: 

    • Igo Elementary students are routed to Jarrell Middle, although Jarrell Ranch may be closer for some.
    • Double Creek students are split.

    Plan #4

    (This plan will be altered just a bit.  The portion of land to the left of Igo Elementary will be included in the JRMS Zone to help with transportation.  This tweak impacts only a handful of students.)

    Pros: 

    • Long term capacity
    • Enrollment distribution: new campus has fewer students
    • Crossing CR 313 is not required
    • All Jarrell Elementary students feed into Jarrell Ranch
    • All Igo Elementary students feed into Jarrell Middle

    Cons: 

    • Igo Elementary students are routed to Jarrell Middle, although Jarrell Ranch may be closer for some.
    • Double Creek students are split.

    Next Steps:

    • Soon, these plans and this Google Form will be shared with the community to gather more input.  
    • In January, the committee will review the input and rank the plans. 
    • In February, the committee will present our findings and recommendations to the board.  

    Please remember the Jarrell ISD Board of Trustees will ultimately make the decision.
