LRPC website updates community on district planning and growth |
|
Members of the NISD Long Range Planning Committee (LRPC) provide numerous levels of invaluable input. The LRPC consists of various members from local communities — parents, staff, business owners and more — who are willing and able to provide diverse perspectives. The LRPC meets often to study and prioritize the facility needs of the school district and assists in providing recommendations to the Northwest ISD Board of Trustees.
A LRPC website has been created to keep the NISD community informed on the progress of the committee and the facility planning process. To view meeting presentations and notes, to submit a question or to view LRPC resources, please visit www.nisdtxlrpc.org.

Volunteer approvals taking longer to process |
|
Please be aware that because of backlogs with court systems, background checks for volunteering are taking additional time to process. While background checks are typically expected to take about three days, the delays are causing them to take up to three weeks.
Northwest ISD partners with a respected service to gather these reports, though our partner can only operate as quickly as the court system. Please keep this in mind when volunteering, and we encourage anyone who plans to volunteer this year to submit a background check immediately instead of waiting.

Community Folder available for local groups |
|
As a service to Northwest ISD's students, parents and community, the district provides the Community Folder for non-school groups or organizations to share information that may be of interest or a benefit to students and families.
The information for the Community Folder is an electronic communication that can be for elementary school students, secondary school students or both. Links to the Community Folder can be found on each campus website. NISD will remind students, parents, and community members to frequently check the latest information posted.
