Grapevine-Colleyville ISD families will be able to request a campus transfer under a newly approved policy.

What's happening? The policy, approved by the district's board Oct. 26, will open an intradistrict transfer period for enrolled GCISD students. Families will have the opportunity to request their child or children attend a campus their home address is not zoned to.

The details: The ability to transfer into different district campuses will depend on the campus’s space and staffing availability. If a campus has 90% or more of its projected student capacity enrolled, then other students will not be able to transfer to the campus. The enrollment capacity is based on staffing projections by grade level.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, which regulates the state's air quality, water quality and waste management, has shut down its electronic filing portal for certain environmental permit applications, an agency spokesperson confirmed Oct. 22. The shutdown comes after watchdog groups said the agency violated an order from Gov. Greg Abbott by processing nearly three dozen permit applications for data center projects.

What's happening: The agency disabled its automated electronic filing system and suspended initial stormwater and wastewater permits, known as "notices of intent," for 17 data center construction projects.

"To ensure all applications are thoroughly reviewed by agency staff to determine if they are related to data centers, applications must be physically provided to TCEQ," agency spokesperson Victoria Cann said in an Oct. 22 statement.

Zooming in: The permits suspended as part of TCEQ's review include a permit for EdgeConneX’s second data center campus in Bastrop County and one for a Google data center facility in Tarrant County, both of which are in Community Impact's coverage areas.
