During its regular May meeting, the Board unanimously certified a petition from residents living within the Lockhart Independent School District (LISD) territory.
Lockhart ISD Annexation Public Hearing
Date: Tuesday, June 25, 2024
Time: 5:30 p.m.
Location: Lockhart Independent Gerry Ohlendorf School District Performing Arts Center, 906 Center Street, Lockhart, TX, 78644
What: ACC officials will be on hand to help the community learn more about the benefits and costs of joining the district.
The college proposed a service plan for Lockhart ISD designed to grow with the community and meet changing workforce needs. This plan includes providing expanded career and technical training, services, working with the school district in support of its early college high school, occupying a short-term workforce and general-education space located in close proximity to Lockhart High School, and ultimately developing a permanent ACC presence in the community after deep consultation with the community on their future economic and educational needs.
In return for paying property taxes, ACC District residents have access to much lower tuition and fees as well as the full suite of the college’s student support services.
In August, the ACC Board of Trustees will vote to add the annexation question to the November general election ballot, giving Lockhart ISD voters the opportunity to decide on annexation in the November election. If approved, residents living within the Lockhart ISD territory will receive in-district benefits immediately.
