Spring (Texas) board says neighborhood will remain in district
April 6, 2007
Affluent neighborhood wants to leave predominantly minority district.
Homeowners in a posh Spring, Texas, subdivision have lost round one of their battle to join the wealthier, better-performing Klein Independent School District. The Spring school board unanimously rejected a petition signed by 190 Northgate Forest residents to secede from the predominantly minority district and be annexed to the Klein school system. The board's attorney, Janet Horton, ruled the petition did not meet the state requirements for detachment.
