Schertz City Council approved the name “Meadow Run Park” for a new 8.83-acre park in the northern part of Schertz on March 17.

The park’s name—recommended to the council by the city’s parks and recreation advisory board—was inspired by the area’s “openness” and “meadow-like qualities,” according to agenda documents.

The details: The board followed the city’s naming policy, which encourages park properties to be named based on ecological, historical and geographical features. Horizon Park and Northview Park were two of the other names up for consideration, per agenda documents.

Meadow Run Park will feature an assortment of amenities, including:

• A playscape
• A picnic pavilion
• Two sports courts
• Two pickleball courts
• A practice soccer field and baseball field

A popular fast food restaurant is relocating in Northeast San Antonio.

What residents should know: Chick-fil-A—located inside The Forum at Olympia Parkway shopping center—has plans to relocate into a new, ground-up restaurant later this year, company officials confirmed in an email to Community Impact.

“While we are still in the early stages, we are happy to share that Chick-fil-A Forum Shopping Center will relocate to a new location to better meet the unique needs of the neighborhood,” company officials said in the email.

The fast food joint is currently located at 8371 Agora Parkway, but will eventually move to 8355 Agora Parkway after the new building is constructed.

“We are actively working through the approval process with local officials and are excited to improve how we can best serve our guests while remaining a cornerstone of the Selma community,” officials said in the email.

As part of a Texas Education Agency requirement, the Northside ISD board of trustees approved a series of campus targeted improvement plans, or TIPs, for 12 campuses throughout the district March 24. 

These TIPs are developed for any campus that receives an F rating, consecutive D ratings or if a campus is a Comprehensive Support and Improvement campus during the TEA’s annual A-F accountability ratings.

The overview: According to district documents, there are eight elementary schools, one middle school and three high schools that require TIPs. During the presentation, Janis Jordan, deputy superintendent for curriculum and instruction, laid out the components of a TIP, which includes a school improvement strategy, instructional support strategies, support and capacity building, performance management and stakeholder feedback.

Looking ahead: The district will continue implementing the TIPs across the campuses for the rest of the school year, with a goal of removing the campuses from TIP status and preventing them from moving into TAP status.
