BOERNE — The Boerne Independent School District has purchased a 70-acre tract of land located off Interstate 10 and Old Fredericksburg Road, just south of Boerne in Kendall County.

The acquisition, finalized on May 20, marks a major milestone in the district’s approach to accommodate future growth, expand educational opportunities and meet the needs of its constituents, school officials said.

While specific plans for the property have not been finalized, Superintendent Dr. Kristin Craft emphasized the importance of the acquisition.

“This land purchase is more than just an investment in real estate, it’s an investment in our students, our teachers and our community’s future,” Craft said. “As Boerne continues to grow, this property allows us the flexibility to meet rising demand and create transformative educational spaces for generations to come.”

The district is evaluating options for the property’s use, including the potential development of a new school site or athletic complex.

Situated in a prime location with access to I-10, the newly acquired land offers incredible potential for future development. Boerne ISD Board President Kristi Schmidt echoed that enthusiasm.

“This is a landmark day for Boerne ISD,” Craft said. “We are planning not just for the students of today but for the students of tomorrow, and this new land ensures we are ready for what’s next in the Boerne community.”

BISD leaders emphasized that community input will be a vital part of determining how the land will be utilized. Master planning will begin in the coming months, with a series of community meetings to gather feedback and ideas from parents, students, educators and local stakeholders.

Boerne ISD is a top-rated public school district serving more than 11,150 students across Kendall and Bexar counties.
