Longhorn Futures Committee

 

Cedar Hill ISD Families, Staff and Community Members

In March 2022, the Cedar Hill ISD Board of Trustees and administration convened a committee of Cedar Hill stakeholders to evaluate, assess, prioritize and report their findings on future capital project needs for the CHISD.

The Longhorn Futures Committee (LFC) is made up of a thorough cross-section of the CHISD community, which will include: 

  • Parents and non-parents
  • Young adults and senior citizens
  • CHISD staff
  • CHISD scholars
  • Cedar Hill business owners
  • Cedar Hill community and civic leaders

The LFC has convened two times since its creation, and made recommendations to the CHISD Board of Trustees. The LFC was reconvened in August 2023, following the failed May 2023 bond election.
