Pflugerville Independent School District

This document presents Scenario 4 for Pflugerville ISD, outlining a plan to close Windermere Elementary School and rezone its students to newer, underutilized campuses, including Timmerman ES, Caldwell ES, and Highland Park ES. The strategic objective is to optimize district-wide facility utilization, effectively manage projected enrollment shifts, and realize significant operational cost savings, thereby modernizing educational infrastructure and resource allocation.

This document outlines draft scenarios for the Pflugerville Independent School District's optimization efforts, aiming to enhance student outcomes, ensure fiscal solvency, and expand equitable access to innovative programs. Focusing on four priorities—Advancing Student Achievement, Student Persistence, Investing in People, and Finance and Operations—the plan proposes various strategies, including school closures, rezoning, and new programming for elementary, middle, and high schools. Key considerations include addressing declining enrollment, optimizing campus capacity, and realigning resources. The overall vision is guided by principles of student-first approaches, community involvement, transparency, equity, and alignment with the district's strategic drivers of Belonging, Pathways, Innovation, and Education Excellence.

This plan outlines Scenario 11 for re-zoning high schools to address capacity concerns and uneven enrollment patterns within the district, particularly for Weiss High School which is projected to exceed capacity by 2029-2032. The initiative aims to balance student enrollment across high schools including Pflugerville, Connally, Hendrickson, and Weiss. Key aspects involve analyzing enrollment trends and building utilization, with a proposed implementation year of 2029-30. The plan also considers the establishment of a recurring boundary review process and projects enrollment data until 2035-36.

This document details the Optimization Priorities approved by the PfISD Board of Trustees, against which all PfISD schools are assessed to inform future Optimization Scenarios. The priorities are categorized into four key areas: Advancing Student Achievement, Student Persistence, Investing in People, and Finance & Operations. Each priority is defined by specific performance metrics and criteria, such as STAAR scores, student attendance, teacher retention, and capital investment per student.

This document presents 'Scenario 8,' a strategic proposal to close Westview Middle School and rezone its students to neighboring, higher-performing campuses. The core objectives include optimizing middle school utilization rates, improving student academic outcomes by relocating students from a low-performing school with outdated facilities, and achieving significant net operating reductions. The scenario details the financial implications, including projected expense reductions and new operating expenses, and outlines the need for broader rezoning to support these objectives. The proposed implementation is for the 2028-29 academic year.
