Bush-Tejeda Middle School Boundaries Change

On April 28, 2008, the NEISD Board of Trustees approved a boundary change affecting the Tejeda and Bush Middle School boundaries in the 2010-2011 school year. The district will move the portion of the Tejeda Middle School attendance area on the west side of U.S. 281 to Bush Middle School to address growth at Tejeda and mirror elementary boundary changes for a new elementary school opening adjacent to the Tuscany Heights subdivision in the fall of 2010. This middle school boundary change would not take effect until fall 2010 when the new elementary school opens. Details of the middle school boundary change includes:
  • Rezone the current Tejeda attendance area west of US 281 (Mountain Lodge, Mountain Lodge Villas, Northwind Estates, The Oaklands, Summerglen, and Tuscany Heights) to Bush effective fall 2010.
  • Allow any students in this area to apply for a voluntary transfer from Tejeda to Bush at any time during the transition period until the boundary change in fall 2010.
  • Offer transportation from this area to both Tejeda and Bush during this transition period.
  • Allow any student who begins their middle school career at either school during the transition period to finish at that same school. This does not extend grandfathering privileges to younger siblings or incoming students in 2010.

Capped Schools

Capping is a method that North East Independent School District uses to control the growing student population at schools. This method is used by picking a specific date and time where the school will be capped and no more new students will be allowed attend the zoned school. Students who move in after the specific date will be assigned to an overflow school until their home campus is relieved. During the 2003-2004 school year, Hardy Oak Elementary and Stone Oak Elementary were capped. At sometime in the Fall Semester of the 2005-2006 school year, Barbara Bush Middle School and Ronald Reagan High School were capped until a new school opens to relieve growth. At some point during the spring semester of the 2005-2006 school year, Wilderness Oak and Canyon Ridge Elementary were capped. Overflow schools for these schools were:
