Lamar Consolidated ISD is redrawing the map in fast-growing Fulshear, signing off on new attendance boundaries that shuffle clusters of students across four elementary schools over the next two years. The move, approved by the Board of Trustees at its meeting last Tuesday, positions families ahead of the openings of Slawinski and Becerra elementaries in August 2026 and Cantu and Adams in August 2027, and it reshapes feeder patterns tied to Huggins, Haygood and Randle. Trustees also added a one-time fourth-grade legacy option so current fourth graders can stay at their existing campuses during the changeover.

Board picks options and timeline

The board backed "Option 1" for the 2026-27 attendance map, then selected "Option 1B" for 2027-28 as the district gradually brings the new campuses online. Both plans are laid out on the district’s rezoning hub, which houses the board-approved maps, committee documents and timelines, plus an address search tool and downloadable PDFs. Families can dig into the full packet on Lamar CISD.

Which neighborhoods shift

Under Option 1, Vanbrooke students will move from Huggins to Haygood, the northern portion of the Randle zone will be reassigned to Slawinski, and neighborhoods north of Tamarron Parkway will transition from Haygood to Slawinski. District leaders said the shifts are intended to take pressure off crowded campuses. Looking ahead to 2027-28, Option 1B keeps some southwest purple-track families at Morgan while easing capacity at Randle, Melton and Haygood. Those details were summarized in reporting by Community Impact.

Legacy clause and reaction

The one-time fourth-grade legacy applies to all rezoning moves approved at the meeting and is intended to make the transition smoother for students who are about to age out of elementary school. The change followed concerns from Simonton residents and other parents who raised issues about safe walking routes and potentially long bus rides. "I was satisfied with the decision. I felt like they heard our concerns and they made adjustments accordingly," Brittany Pineda said at the meeting, according to Community Impact.

How families can check their new zone

Parents can plug an address into the district’s interactive rezoning map or pull up the board-approved boundary PDFs to see which campus their child is slated to attend under each option. The rezoning hub also hosts committee presentations, capacity projections and final maps for Slawinski, Cantu, Becerra and Adams. All of that is available through the searchable tools on Lamar CISD.

What happens next

The new boundaries take effect at the start of the listed school years, so shifts will kick in when classes begin in August. In the meantime, district staff will lock in transportation routes, notify affected families and share any further tweaks during upcoming board meetings. Parents with lingering questions are encouraged to contact the district’s enrollment office or attend future trustee sessions to stay up to date.
