Klein ISD must rezone because Klein OakHigh School is overcapacity and projected to continue togrow. Some current Klein Oak subdivisions will be movedto the Klein High or Klein Collins zone.The preferred draft plan for the rezoning was formed basedon recommendations and discussions of a zoning committeeof parents, community members, and district staff. The districtalso gathered feedback on the plan through email and at acommunity forum. This draft plan is available for review onthe district website (www.kleinisd.net). Just click on “ZoningInformation” on the homepage. The final draft plan will beposted after the Board vote.22 July 2011 Gleannloch Farms Newsletter

Badges mustbe visible at all times. Those not cooperating with thisrequirement will be asked to leave the premises.Common sense applies when utilizing the GleannlochFarms pools; follow the posted rules.Parents are responsible for the safety and care of theirchildren at the pools. Lifeguards on duty are not babysittersthey are present to reinforce the rules of the pooland ensure in-water safety.• Parents must closely supervise their children at alltimes. Remember, it only takes seconds for a child todrown. You are responsible and accountable.• Do not dive in areas marked “No Diving.” Nearly90 percent of all spinal injuries occur in the shallowend of the pool.• Breath-holding games can be very dangerous andmay cause cardiac arrhythmia or seizures. Games likewho can hold their breath the longest and swimmingthe longest distance underwater should be avoided atall times.• Don’t allow children to play with or around the maindrain. The main drain suction can be very powerfuland has been known to cause severe injuries and insome cases death.• Define a safe zone for your children where they canalways touch the bottom. One of the most commonsaves a lifeguard must make is when a swimmer straysto an area that is too deep for them to stand.• Access rules to the facility will be strongly enforcedand are the responsibility of each member tounderstand and follow.
