Got this from our realtor. I'm still gathering info on it so I'm not putting this out to fuel any arguments for one side or another. It's a fyi for interested parties...
Please see the note another Realtor friend sent me that might make you want to go to the meeting even more. "Everyone - I was contacted this morning by a friend who works at CSISD. She was very concerned about plans being discussed / considered for South College Station Schools. There is a big push by some to Bus kids away from the schools close to their home and have South CS kids attend CSISD elementary, intermediate, middle and high schools on the other side of town--no matter how close their home is to the school. Almost no one from South CS zone even showed up to oppose the idea. For more information on the last meeting they can look up the News from the Eagle or KBTX."

We have to have a voice in this or others will be the ones impacting the decisions of the people making them. I know we all love the schools we are zoned for, and I know many of your purchased your homes because of the zoning. I know that we understand change is inevitable and zones aren't written in stone, but we must speak up and be united to ask that they leave the elementary and high schools alone especially. We hope to see you at the meeting at the transportation services complex on Wm D Fitch and Rock Prairie(near pebble creek and the old CS dump location) at noon!
The meeting this week is the last opportunity anyone living in South CS will have to say "No, do not bus my kids away from their local school" If you can't attend the meeting, there is a email address to email in your thoughts on this issue(traffic concerns etc) feedback at csisd (dot)org .
