Lamar CISD Leaders and Parents Decide on Rezoning for New Secondary Complex #7

On April 4 and 9, 2024, leaders from Lamar CISD in Rosenberg, Texas, met with the Attendance Boundary Committee (ABC) to plan for the new Secondary Complex #7. This complex will house Gene Tomas High School, Ella Banks Junior High, and Judge “Sandy” Bielstein Middle School. It is scheduled to open for the 2025-2026 school year at 24730 Easton Ramsey Way in Richmond, Texas. The high school will serve students in grades 9-12. The district is growing quickly and uses bond funds to construct new schools.

The ABC committee was established to decide on rezoning for the new complex. The district surveyed over 40,000 parents from the affected campuses to collect feedback. Shashi Kapoor, a parent at Fulshear High School and spokesperson for the Secondary Complex #7 ABC, thanked the board for considering the survey and the voting process.

Of the 68 parents invited to the Secondary Complex #7 ABC, 37 attended the April 9 meeting to vote. The group decided not to create an additional map option. Patrick Ralls, a parent at Wessendorff Middle School and another spokesperson for the Secondary Complex #7 ABC, said the recommended option was the best compromise. Even though Ralls preferred a different option, he chose to support the group's decision.

Ralls and Kapoor will present their committees' findings and suggest a rezoning map option at the Lamar CISD Board of Trustees meeting on April 16. The board will use this information to vote on the final rezoning maps. More details on the rezoning process, including map options and additional meeting details, can be found online.
