A Fort Bend ISD boundary survey showed that nearly half of respondents were neutral about the seven potential elementary school closures, officials shared at a Feb. 9 special meeting.

The breakdown: The survey, which was distributed to parents and stakeholders in January, showed 49% of respondents were neutral across all stakeholders, Chief of Organizational Development Stephanie Williams said. However, the number fell to 43% neutral when looking at those affected by a potential closure.

Meanwhile, overall 34% of all stakeholders were against the closures with the number rising to 49% of those who would be affected by the closures.

What's next: Final elementary recommendations are set to be considered by the board on March 9, Superintendent Marc Smith said. If approved, the implementation process will run from March to August before students begin at their newly assigned schools in the 2026-27 school year.

Five Democratic candidates are running for Fort Bend County treasurer in the upcoming March primary election.

The details: The position is currently held by Republican Bill Rickert, who is running unopposed in the Republican primary.

Candidates were asked to keep responses under 50 words, answer the questions provided and avoid attacking opponents. Answers may have been edited or cut to adhere to those guidelines, or for style and clarity.
