In 2010-2011 Mayfield and Stone Oak students will attend the new elementary campus located in the Stone Oak neighborhood area.
Elementary School Boundaries
Trustees voted to maintain the boundaries of the elementary campuses in the southeast quadrant as they currently exist. Trustees also established a new elementary attendance boundary in 2010-2011 for the elementary campus located in the Stone Oak neighborhood area that is bounded by the district line on the west and north, IH35 on the east, and FM 1431 on the south reducing the Cactus Ranch attendance area.

High School Grade Levels Affected by Change

The two grade level option will be applied to all high school boundary changes affecting existing high school campuses in the 2010-2011 school year and that the district provide transportation for incoming freshman students who elect to begin their freshman year within their newly assigned high school boundaries during the 2009-2010 school year.
