Firebird65 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 (edited) I know there's a couple of posters out there interested in school district histories and I wanted to share this I found last night:Came across an October 1961 Houston Chronicle article that discussed how two homeowners in the former Addicks school district were protesting the Harris County school board's decision to assign them to the Houston ISD. The homeowners wanted to be part of Alief ISD because the tax rate was considerably lower. The story mentioned the Addicks district had been dissolved in July of that year (1961) and that the district had been split by the school board between HISD, Spring Branch, Alief and Katy.Hope this proves useful to anyone interested. I didn't know Addicks was still around in 1961. Their football team dropped off around 1947 (about the time the reservoir was built), so I just assumed that was the time the district became defunct.
