Up, up up and away!

Last fall, an updated demographic study predicted the Boerne Independent School District would double its student population by the 2031-32 academic year.

Last week, during the March BISD board of trustees meeting, Superintendent Tom Price gave a brief report that boosted figures in that direction when he said 415 new students already had been registered for the 2022-23 year – which begins more than four months from now in August.

And, as registration continues, the number continues to increase, and as of last Friday had grown to 489 new students.
