Leander LISD - Demographic Update (Spring: school district, live, zoning)

[SFOtoAustin]

This could be duplicate post, since I thought it could be useful for the people to understand the zoning of LISD schools for next 10 years.

While there was obviously a lot of effort put into compiling those 'statistics', I don't think anyone can predict the actual school boundaries for the next decade. We've seen schools planned and put on hold, at least one school built and not used for a year(?), two elementary schools built within 3 years sharing a single 'driveway', Crystal Falls nearly dormant for 3 years then exploding, Cold Springs coming to a screeching halt for over two years then adding an entire new phase, etc. etc.


That Travisso info is pretty darned ambitious, especially with the location farther out 1431. That will be some seriously nasty traffic(already not too great) on one single highway. Glad I don't live out that way! IF that area should get built up like they plan, expect that stretch of 1431 to become the northwestern version of 2222 in terms of traffic challenges.

I studied demographic data for LTISD for many years. It is true they can't accurately predict much of anything ten years out. They don't claim they can. But it is important for the school district to consider the population trends both near and not so near. It takes at least two years to build a school, assuming they have land. If they have to pass bonds to get the money they need bond money 3 years in advance of actual need.
