The Dripping Springs ISD Board of Trustees unanimously voted Monday night to approve new elementary and middle school attendance zones. The zones incorporate the district’s new elementary school being constructed on Darden Hill Road: Cypress Springs Elementary.
As compared to the current district boundary map, the approved elementary attendance zones make several key changes:
•Moves neighborhoods near Darden Hill Road to the new Cypress Springs Elementary
•Moves neighborhoods east of Nutty Brown Road (except for the Views of Belterra) to the new Cypress Springs Elementary
•Moves neighborhoods in Planning Unit 20A (Ledgestone, Heritage Oaks, Heritage West, Oak Run West, Polo Club) to Sycamore Springs Elementary and Sycamore Springs Middle School
The board also approved a one-year plan to “grandfather” incoming fifth- and eighth-graders who are zoned to the new schools, but would prefer to remain at their current campus for the 2021-22 school year. To aid parents, siblings of grandfathered fifth- and eighth-grade students also will be given the option to remain at the same school as their sibling for one year. District transportation will not be provided to grandfathered students.
The new attendance zones will take effect this August.
