Waller ISD Board calls for Citizens Committee to assess District needs

During a special called Board meeting Oct. 30, Dr. Pat Guseman of Population and Survey Analysts and her colleagues presented the Board of Trustees with compelling data on the expected growth of Waller ISD in the near future. Following the presentation, the Board voted to adopt a resolution which authorizes the formation of a citizens committee to evaluate the capacity, quality, functionality, and safety of all the District’s existing facilities. Their goal is to make sure all elements are in place to provide an excellent education for every student in Waller ISD.
     Because Waller ISD is anticipating record growth with several subdivisions being constructed within the District, extensive facility planning is required. The Board and WISD’s Administration invite all parents and community members to an organizational meeting which will be held Tuesday, Nov. 14 at 7 p.m. in the auditorium at Waller High School. The meeting will introduce the planning process and develop sub-committees to examine current facilities, projected growth, financing options, tax rate, grade alignment, potential sites, technology infrastructure, transportation needs and other sub-committees that may be required.
     “Parent and community participation is a very important component in determining the needs of Waller ISD. We look forward to seeing everyone November 14 and beginning the process of assessing those needs so that WISD can be prepared for our bright future,” Waller ISD Superintendent Richard McReavy said.
     You may call Tracy Pershall at 936.931.3685 or email her at tpershal@wallerisd.net to sign up for a planning committee or simply attend the Nov. 14 meeting at WHS.
     The results of the planning committee will be presented to the Waller ISD Board of Trustees with a recommendation on the best course of action to meet the needs of current and future students in the District. The specific language of the adopted resolution can be found on Waller’s web site at http://www.wallerisd.net/SchoolBoard/school_board.htm.
