Clear Creek ISD Delayed Conversion of Clear Lake 9th Grade Center
League City, Texas- The Clear Creek Independent School District Board of Trustees unanimously approved the Superintendent’s recommendation to postpone the conversion of the Clear Lake 9th Grade Center to an intermediate school during the October General Board Meeting. The district administration cited various factors that have developed since the community authorized the funds in 2007 to convert the Clear Lake 9th Grade Center to an intermediate school. Some of the factors discussed are as follows:
- A slowdown in student enrollment growth does not justify, at this time, the need for an eleventh intermediate school. At the time of the 2007 Bond, CCISD’s projected enrollment was between 800-1,000 new students every year. Currently it is around 350-500 students, and much of the growth is west of Highway 45. The District attributes the slowdown in student enrollment growth to the economy and housing market.
- The elementary schools along the northeast section of the school district have seen a decline in student enrollment, indicating Space Center Intermediate and Clear Lake Intermediate populations in the next several years will be less than they are today.
The bond funds will be set aside for when the 9th grade conversion would take place. For more information contact the Office of Public Information at 281-284-0020 or via email at information@ccisd.net.
