Houston ISD released its two plans for changing the districts boundary lines, affecting which trustees will represent them.
Houston ISD plans to redraw the boundary lines for its nine school board trustees based on population changes reflected in the latest U.S. Census.
District VII, represented by Bridget Wade and spanning from River Oaks to Briarmeadow in west Houston, has seen the most growth, so it will be redrawn.That district also saw growth 10 years ago, the last time the Census was done. However, the growth wasn't considered significant enough to warrant being restructured. District I, which represented the north side, and District IX, the south, were the only two to be restructured 10 years ago after the last Census.
However, some critics have argued that under HISD's current single-member district system, factions occur along political and racial lines. Some have suggested replacing the nine district seats with a combination of at-large and single-member districts, that way they work to represent the entire district instead of a specific geographic area.
