CISD is trying to keep our kids zoned to Oak Ridge High School even though they are building a school half the distance from our
neighborhood. While they are not considering moving some Woodlands kids to Oak Ridge, even though they are closer to Oak Ridge than we are. We must stop this, and ensure our neighborhood is zoned to Grand Oaks High school.
- Being zoned to Oak Ridge will have a negative impact on our community.
- Taking our kids away from their Rayford Road friends in other neighborhoods that get zoned to Grand Oaks.
- Unintended consequences of the emotional distress caused by splitting our kids from their life long classmates.
- Dividing York into different high schools could lead to a divided campus, with conflict and bullying.
- Longer commute. Oak Ridge is twice the distance from us compared to Grand Oaks.
- More time on a bus and less time for our kids to study and spend with family.
- Increased traffic on Rayford Road.
- Increased fuel cost for CISD transportation due to longer commutes, leading to tax increases.
- Safety of our children having to drive on Rayford Road, where frequent major accidents occur.
- Broken Promise‐ CISD sold us on their recent bond by promising a Rayford Road High school. They did not tell us that it was only for a small portion of Rayford Road. This is dishonest and disrespectful of the taxpayers.
- Decrease in property values compared to other neighborhoods around us.
We need a very strong presence and voice at the Zoning committee meetings. This will show them that our neighborhood will not standby and allow CISD to harm our children and our properties.

The road ahead feels long and the district continues to ignore our concerns while we watch our kids pay the price. We are nearing five hundred signatures and I need you to reach out to one more neighbor before we submit this to the board.

Legends ranch subdivision should no doubt be zoned to the new school! Its right around the corner. Especially for the kids that drive to school! Driving 20 minutes in traffic in the mornings and evenings or 5 minutes? Its a no brainier when it comes to their safety!!!
We live in Estates of Legends Ranch. We voted for the expenditure to build the new high school based on CISD's word that our community would be zoned to it. It makes no sense for us to have to go Oak Ridge with Grand Oaks just down the street.
We voted for the bond and are funding a new school that our kids potentially won't be able to attend...this is not right. We are 3 miles from the new school and you want to send us over 7 miles away to a different school? No way!!!!
Our children should not go to schools with the same children for 9 years and then moved to a completely new set of peers in high school. How is it ok to make Legends Ranch families feed to a different high school than the others neighborhoods attending the same junior high?!?
I echo the sentiments expressed by the others. It is unconscionable that the children of Legends Ranch may be forced to attend Oak Ridge when we are so clearly closer to Grand Oaks. This smacks of favoritism to me.
Legends ranch kids to Grand Oak
Moving to this area the bond that would build a high school close by was a large consideration for my family.
