  1. The PASA Report does have serveral errors in it. For example according to PASA Klein Forest and Klein High are projected to have 3,500 and 3,400 in 2008, and 3,700 and 3,500 in 2013. Klein Forest already has 3,500+ students and Klein High has 3,400+ students. Klein Collins was projected to have 2,900+ in 2008. We currently have 3,200+ students. I thought Klein Oak had about 2,200-2,300 students. I heard somewhere else that they have about 2,800. There are many other errors in the report also. I hope the new report released in June 2007 is alot more better and accurate than the 2004 report because they could have done a lot better job.

  2. Krimmel Intermediate is looking like its alredy finished. Lights are on, and they have cleaned up the site. All they have to do with the outside is landscape. My question is why is Klein ISD just now providing Marquee Signs in the original construction of a school? Schindewolf PTO had to pay for a marquee sign to be built. Benignus Elementary also got a Marquee Sign upon opening of the campus. Klein Collins HS definitely needs one. Klein ISD should have been had one built for KC.

  3. Katy Independent School District Superintendent Dr. Leonard Merrell has announced his plan to retire effective June 30, 2007. Dr. Merrell has served as superintendent for Katy ISD since June 1995. Formerly he served as superintendent of Texas City ISD and Sulphur Springs ISD, as well as business manager, budget director, high school principal and high school assistant principal in Garland ISD. He began his teaching career as a junior high math and science teacher. In his letter of retirement presented to the school board on Jan. 17, Dr. Merrell said,

  4. Chris-

    Did you attend the Community Forum at Klein Oak regarding zoning proposals? If you did, would you be so kind as to give us your thoughts on how you thought it went on this rather contentious issue for Klein ISD? Thanks!

    No, I didn't attend the Community Forum but I think this is an issue that has been blown out of Proportion by a great percentage. Here's the issue. Frank Elementary School will open next year in the southern part of in Gleanloch Farms near the intersection of Champion Forest and Boudreaux Roads. Klein ISD's proposed Frank zone is designed to take about 30-40 percent of Gleannloch Farms south section and the other 60-70 percent is to come from 2-4 subdivisions that feed along Boudreaux Road to relieve Korhville Elementary also. The new Hassler zone calls for the remaining 60-70 percent of northern Gleannloch Farms. Most Residents in Gleannloch Farms is wanting the district to let all of Gleannloch Farms students to remain at Hassler and take a majority of Korhville Elementary students to make up the Frank zone. The district cannot do that because Gleannloch Farms has too many Elementary Students and to keep them all at Hassler would make Hassler way over capacity, therefore they have to split the subdivision up between the two campuses. Another Proposed asset to the zoning was to move Memorial Creek Estates from Hassler to Krahn. Those residents were really not happy with that proposal. I can see why becauses the subdivision is right across the street from Hassler and 1.3 miles from Krahn. There aren't even many Elementary Students in this subdivision. For the Krimmel Intermediate zone it is designed to take just about half of Hildebrandt's zone. The southern border line for the Krimmel zone is the same line for the Frank zone in the south part of Gleannloch Farms. Once again residents are upset and thimk it is unfair to let 30% of Gleannloch go to Frank, Krimmel then Klein Oak and the other 70% go to Hassler, Doerre then Klein Oak. The Feeder Zoning is wrong and unfair for the north part of Gleannloch Farms. Doerre feeds into Klein HS, so students will have to depart from their freinds at Doerre that are going to Klein HS because they are zoned to attend Klein Oak, which is a different story for the south part of Gleannloch Farms which will be going into Klein Oak from Krimmel. I am right beside Klein ISD for the Elementary Proposals, but for the Intermediate Proposals they can do some readjusting to the feeder zoning. As I said on the Klein ISD Forum, Klein ISD is doing the best they can to provide a comfortable, great enviroment for students. Growth is a good thing and compliment. People are recognizing that Klein ISD is a magnificent district and one of the best in Houston. If I were a Klein ISD Board Menber which I plan to be in about 5 years, I would vote YES to the Elementary Zoning and NO for the Intermediate Zoning. Residents in Gleannloch shouldn't be so upset because in 2009/2010 they are going to be rezoned to Intermediate #9 and High School #5 on the new land purchased on Spring Cypress. A new Elementary is planned for FM 2920 and Huffsmith Korhville. Once again Klein ISD is doing the best they can to provide a better enviroment for students.

  5. I read in another HAIF thread that the next Real World was gonna be in ATL. What tha dilly, yo?

    This is a true statement that was just in Headlines recently. Other places said to hold Season #19 were rumored. They start filming Sydney in February of this year.

  6. MTV's hit show "The Real World" will be heading for Sydney Australia for season #19. The show is expected to start filming in February 2007 and air in the summer of 2007. The cast will live in a 20,000 square foot contemporary house. The house is in walking distance to the Sydney Opera Houses and local Bars and Clubs according to Producers. This will be the third season MTV aired outside of the USA. Previous seasons to air outside the USA were Seasons 4 and 13 (Paris, London).

  7. I was riding along Spring Stubner today and was shocked at how much development is taking place between I-45 and Kuykendahl on Spring Stubner. Near Kuykendahl there is an entrance to Northcrest Village Subdivision near Klein Oak HS. Down on the other side by I-45 there is a fairly brand new Subdivision called Forest Ridge with KB Homes. It's a very nice, attractive Community. Down west towards Falvel Rd there are 3 new Shopping Centers going up. They are still building a few new homes in the new section of Forest North by the lake. Spring Stubner Road used to be all woods, now it is starting to be developed.

  8. Klein ISD is very very unfair when it comes to Bus Service. Klein ISD has over 200 Buses, some that are'nt even in use. For example before Klein Collins, Schindewolf, and Kreinhop opened Klein ISD Subdivision Normandy Forest was zoned to Klein Oak, Hildebrandt and Lemm. Yes, transportation by the district was provided. When Klein Collins and Schindewolf opened they continued to provide transportation. Normandy Forest is separated by Falvel Rd and Ella Blvd from Klein Collins and Schindewolf. The Subdivision is across the street from the 2 schools but not really across the street. Its a pretty far distance between the 2 schools and the subdivision. Things changed when Kreinhop Elementary opened in 2004. Kreinhop was built on Ella Blvd but in between Ella Blvd and Falvel Rd. Normandy Forest is right behind Kreinhop by like 40-50 feet. When the school opened they stopped giving Normandy Forest Bus Service to all 3 campuses because according to Klein ISD "A subdivision can't be adjacent to a campus in order to be elligible for bus transportation". They discontinued bus service to all 3 campuses. Klein ISD should have just stopped transportation from Kreinhop since that campus is adjacent to the subdivision. Why stop giving bus service to a subdivision whos had it for 3 years. If Normandy Forest was'nt elligible to Klein Collins and Schindewolf, why did'nt Klein ISD take bus service away when those 2 campuses opened in 2001 and 2002? Klein ISD does some things in a way that is not understandable. This was also an issue on a former Klein ISD Community Forum when Kreinhop opened in 2004.
