AGENDA REQUEST BUSINESS OF THE CITY COUNCIL CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City Council requested drafting of a resolution for consideration to support the efforts of Pearland residents seeking to detach from Ft. Bend Independent School District and instead to be annexed to the Alvin Independent School District, which is contiguous. A majority of property owners in the affected area have signed a petition for such an action. The adjustment of school district lines in this fashion is allowed by Title 2 of the Texas Education Code, Subtitle C, Chapter 13, Subchapter B, Section 13.051 “Detachment and Annexation.” The subject area is all part of the Shadow Creek Ranch Planned Development, a large cohesive mixed-use master plan community. The vast majority of the master plan community is within the Alvin Independent School District, except for the small western-most portion which is in the Ft. Bend Independent School District. The attached resolution for the City Council’s policy consideration has been drafted and is subject to any modifications that the City Council may wish to amend as part of its deliberation. If approved, the Pearland City Council policy resolution would be shared to the Alvin ISD and the Ft Bend County ISD school districts for use in their evaluation of the resident request. As required by the law, the Ft. Bend School District has a public hearing scheduled on the matter and AISD will do the same.
