Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD is planning a new initiative to increase enrollment for students living outside of the district. On March 26, Executive Director of Elementary Education Sarah Dauphinais gave a presentation on limited enrollment for out-of-district transfers to schools with lower enrollment. If implemented, the program would begin during the 2026-27 school year.

The details: Dauphinais said staff have discussed out-of-district enrollment for a couple of years, considering different ways to implement the program.

“Out-of-district transfers will allow SCUC to strengthen enrollment at our under-capacity campuses and attract families around us that are seeking high-quality learning environments,” she said.

Initially, the program will be open to students in kindergarten through sixth grade at five participating campuses. Each of the campuses will allow different grade levels to enroll. Campuses include:

• Cibolo Valley Elementary (K-4)
• Green Valley Elementary (K-4)
• Watts Elementary (K-4)
• Paschal Elementary (K-4)
• Wilder Intermediate (5-6)

The Judson ISD board of trustees approved a change to a construction services contract for Cibolo Creek Middle School, located at 5735 Waldon Walk in San Antonio, on March 26.

What you need to know: The contract change is being funded by the district's 2022 bond. The contract would add $641,000 to the project, bringing the total cost to $81.21 million. The contract will expire once all work is completed, according to board documents.

The original project cost was $80.32 million, but in June 2025, trustees approved an additional $250,000 for contingency costs, increasing the total at the time to $80.57 million, according to board documents.

The contractor on the project is Spawglass Contractors Inc., according to board documents.

What’s next: The project will include modifications to the roof, the painting of four fire hydrants, the addition of exterior handrails and more, according to board documents.
