In June, Spring Branch ISD entered into an agreement on behalf of the district to purchase 15 acres of land at the corner of Kempwood and Hollister roads.
The signing of this agreement marked the beginning of a 90-day period to conduct a feasibility study for the rebuilding of Edgewood Elementary School at this site. At the SBISD Board of Trustees regular meeting on July 27, the Board approved the sale and purchase of 15 acres for the future Edgewood Elementary site.
The school district has been looking for a site to relocate Edgewood Elementary. As a result of this agreement, SBISD will be able to accelerate the rebuilding project at Edgewood Elementary and utilize the current Edgewood campus as a transition campus for the district Bond Program.
Edgewood Elementary, currently located at 8655 Emnora, is one of 12 SBISD elementary schools that will be rebuilt under the Bond Program approved by district voters in November 2007.
A meeting to gain community input on this topic was held June 8 at the elementary school.
