Rezoning Considerations

• In October 2013, the Waxahachie ISD Board of Trustees approved the recommendation of the administration to reconfigure Marvin Elementary to house Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K) through Fifth Grade beginning August 2014. By utilizing Marvin Elementary as a full elementary campus, this will enable the district to add an additional 396 elementary seats and eliminate overcrowding in several of the district’s elementary campuses.

• Possible Expansion of the Pre-Kindergarten Program• Bilingual programs located at Wedgeworth and Dunaway

• Texas nonfarm employment growth was up 2.3% in 4Q13, well above the U.S. increase of 1.5%. (BLS/TWC)

• The state's unemployment rate has been at or below the national rate for 7 consecutive years. (State Comptrollers Office)

• Texas’ $18.7 billion in exports for November 2013 represented more than 18% of all U.S. exports, a percentage that has been steadily increasing since 2009. (Census Bureau and Wisertrade)

• Unemployment rates - Texas Labor Market Information (December 2013)- U.S. 6.5%- Texas 5.6%- DFW MSA 5.4%- Ellis County 5.4%- Waxahachie 5.2%

• Dallas was the #7 ranked Best Performing City in the U.S. for 2013 according to the Miliken Institute’s annual publication.

• Employment at corporate headquarters located in Dallas increased 16% from 2007-2012, about 4,200 new jobs.

• DFW builders put up 21,236 new homes in 2013, a 19% increase over 2012. (Metrostudy) 3
