WFISD developing attendance zone options

WICHITA FALLS, Texas (KAUZ) - Wichita Falls ISD is planning to possibly develop new attendance zones with the upcoming merge of the high schools.

District officials said the options are designed to provide equal opportunities for all students, but they want feedback from the community.

“We have three zones and we’re only going to have two high schools, so we’ll only need two zones,” WFISD Superintendent Michael Khurt, said. “I think the concern is how do you deal with after-school activities and things like that and we’ve always dealt with those. We’re not going to let transportation be a impedement on students’ ability to participate.”

They are planning to host three town hall meetings:

• Monday, Feb. 28, at Barwise Middle School
• Wednesday, Mar. 2, at the WFISD Career Education Center
• Thursday, Mar. 3, at Hirschi High School

All meetings start at 5:30 p.m.
