SUGAR LAND, Texas – On Monday evening, the Fort Bend Independent School District Board, the district’s superintendent, and other members of the executive leadership team met in a “Special Called Meeting” tied to the potential rezoning of the district.
The meeting was labeled by the district as ”Boundary Process and Timeline,” and the focus was to have the district’s “staff provide a review of the planning process as well as an update on the timeline,” according to a district spokesman.
The meeting comes after parents, concerned as to what schools and neighborhoods may be impacted, began expressing concerns over what the district is doing to help alleviate the issue of overcrowding within certain schools in the district.
The primary request KPRC 2 News heard from parents was the desire for more transparency.
A district spokesperson said there is nothing set in stone yet about “long-range boundary planning,” but the district called the special meeting for transparency and to provide parents and citizens, whose child’s education or property value may be impacted, a better understanding of the reasoning the district is examining rezoning.
For many families in FBISD, rezoning has become a common practice over the last decade due to the district’s rise in residential construction.
According to district leadership, the next meeting on Dec. 5 is anticipated to reveal greater details as well as a bigger picture perspective of the district’s plans in 2026 about a potential vote and change to the current FBISD layout.
