(October 7, 2008)—Midway Independent School District will hold a public hearing to consider a proposed realignment to its elementary and intermediate school attendance zones.

The realignment comes as construction on the new Castleman Creek Elementary School is nearing completion. The elementary school is scheduled to open in August 2009. The new intermediate school, yet to be named, is expected to open the following year.

The meeting, scheduled for Tuesday at 6:30 pm, will be held at Midway High School Auditorium located at 8200 Mars Drive in Waco.

A draft attendance zone map for the elementary and intermediate schools will be presented for discussion at the meeting. The public is invited to attend and voice its opinion of the proposal to the committee.

The new schools are being built to relieve overcrowded conditions in the schools and projected district growth in the next few years.

The attendance zones are scheduled to take affect for the 2009-2010 school year.
