Long Range Planning Committee Discusses 6 New Schools and More for May Bond Election
Northwest ISD's Long Range Planning Committee will meet again tonight to consider projects that could be included in a May 2021 bond election. During its meeting on Jan. 7, the committee identified six new schools they felt should be included in the next bond proposal: Elementary #22, Elementary #23, Middle School #7, and larger schools to replace Hatfield Elementary, Seven Hills Elementary and Pike Middle School. All six schools would address enrollment growth across NISD. The committee is also considering a number of other projects, and residents are encouraged to follow the committee's progress at www.nisdtxlrpc.org.
The committee has been studying growth projections, analyzing project costs, reviewing feedback from the post-election survey and stakeholder groups, and working toward a recommendation to take to the NISD Board of Trustees.
In Texas, school districts may hold bond elections during the May election or the November election. If the NISD school board chooses to call an election for May 1, 2021, they must call the election by Feb. 12
Free Meals for K-8th Grade Students Extended Through May 2021
All K – 8th grade students are eligible to receive a free breakfast and lunch through the end of the 2020-2021 school year.
Due to NISD high schools not being a part of any federal nutrition program, high school students will continue to be charged according to their eligibility. The price for reduced breakfast is $.30 and reduced lunch is $.40. The price for paid breakfast is $1.35 and paid lunch is $2.75. Premium paid lunches are available for $3.95. High School students can qualify for free and reduced meals by completing an application and receiving approval for the Free or Reduced School Food Program. Applications are available online at http://northwestisd.schoollunchapp.com or paper applications are available from your school campus.
