Traffic impacts associated with the proposed site of a fifth Dripping Springs ISD elementary campus were detailed by residents during a series of input meetings in August. That information is expected to be included in a feasibility plan DSISD will craft that could show what’s the best use of the 155-acre site located on Darden Hill Road just east of Sawyer Ranch Road. Four meetings were held the week of Aug. 26 to gather input on plans for the proposed fifth elementary campus, which will be built on district-owned land.
The 155-acre site was purchased by the district in 2010 and is large enough to accommodate a variety of district facilities, potentially including an elementary school, a middle school, a high school, and possibly a satellite transportation facility, according to a district release.
“Where the elementary school is placed on the site will be primarily determined by what location is most beneficial to serve the needs of an elementary school and what location provides the best options for future development of the site,” district officials said.
