The charge to the committee from the WISD Board of Trustees was to develop a recommendation that will:

• Prioritize the needs of ALL WISD students and make decisions that will enable students to receive a premier education.
• Represent the expectations and values of the community.
• Consider projects that will provide a safe and secure educational setting for students and staff.
• Make recommendations that enhance the District’s capacity to provide conditions for quality teaching and learning within the parameters of fiscal capacity and responsibility.

The committee spent their time reviewing and analyzing the aspects, histories, and projections of Waxahachie ISD’s demographics, growth and enrollment patterns, tax impact scenarios, district finance, educational programs, and thorough discussions of both immediate and long-term needs of the District, and workforce needs for our growing business community.
