Civility Ordinance Passes
|
|
Over the course of the 2016 Fall season, the Greater South Post Oak/West Bellfort Coalition, which consist of businesses, churches, and residents of Willow Meadows, Willowbend, Westwood, Westbury, and Meyerland, collectively coordinated a petition drive regarding the City of Houston ordinance amendment of Chapter 40. This amendment would extend provisions of the existing civility ordinance to include the area defined by the Greater South Post Oak/West Bellfort Coalition.
"The Coalition's hard work paid off," states Council Member Green. "I, along with my council colleagues, passed this civility ordinance unanimously.
The City of Houston civility ordinance prohibits certain conduct on sidewalks (lying, sitting or storing personal possessions) during the 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. timeframe. Prior to the passage, the civility ordinance was only applicable to the Central Business District, Midtown, Old Sixth Ward, Avondale, Hyde Park, East Downtown Management District and the Historic Near Northside. The ordinance contained provisions for a citizen petition procedure to extend the restrictions to other areas of the City.
"This was a great community collaboration. It was good to see adjoining communities come together to address a holistic issue in a grassroots manner," states Council Member Green.

Near Southwest Super Neighborhood Formation
|
Last year, the District K office was approached about forming a Super Neighborhood Council (SNC) within the Willow Meadows/Westwood area. From that interest, Council Member Green tasked Donald Perkins to initiate an informational meeting to fully explain the Super Neighborhood Program (SN). In September 2016, the District K office facilitated an informational meeting among the area's community stakeholders to seek their interest in pursuing this program and joining the other five (5) active District K SNCs - Braeswood, Westbury, Brays Oaks, Central Southwest, and Fort Bend Houston.
The first SN formation meeting occurred in November 2016, followed by a subsequent formation meeting in January 2017. "I'm glad to see the stakeholders within this area are engaging each other to form a collaborative organization that will address community issues as a unified voice," states Council Member Green.
To date, the SN formation team is steadily moving forward with finalizing the bylaws and reaching out to other interested community stakeholders. As part of this formation process, the group has decided to revise their original SN name to be more reflective of their boundary - Near Southwest SN. The next SN formation meeting is scheduled for May 4 at 6:30 p.m. at Willow Meadows Baptist Church.

Westbury
Parker Elementary School Construction Update
|
 New School Opening Delayed Until January 2018
The somber truth has been revealed and the HISD Bond team admits now that it was overly optimistic to say that the new Parker Elementary building would be ready for move-in by the start of school in August of 2017. The HISD construction team discussed that there have already been 95 rain-delay days on the Parker project. Even though it might be possible to move in for start of school in August 2017, while still finalizing construction, it is not recommended or desirable based on experiences at other schools. The new schedule is that the move will be made over the school break in December of 2017, and that students will start in the new building in January of 2018.
The Project Advisory Team (PAT) for the Parker Elementary School project met on February 15 to discuss the current construction status. School Principal Lori Frodine questioned why so little progress has been made. Construction was released in April 2016 for the new building, and the structural framing went up in October 2016. The owner for Patriot Construction and the site construction manager discussed that the rain delays have been significant. The slowest and most critical part of the project will be the completion of the utilities, mechanical, and heating/ventilation in "part C" of the building (the wing closest to the city park). The heating and ventilation systems must be working to do the sheetrock work. Once the roof is completed and the mechanical systems are working, then progress will go much faster.

Westbury High School Groundbreaking
|
 In February, Westbury High School held a celebratory groundbreaking ceremony to mark the start of construction as part of the voter-approved 2012 Bond Program. Westbury High School is programmed for a $40 million addition and renovation that will feature 26 new class-rooms, replace current portable buildings, add flexible learning centers, a commons area designed to serve a dual purpose as both a dining and gathering space, and two gymnasiums. Last month, WHS held a grand opening of the new baseball and softball fields that were included in an early phase of the overall school renovation project.
HISD sponsored a community meeting to address final design plans and provide an overview of what students, staff, and constituents can expect during the construction phase of this project. Read more about this meeting on the next page.
Westbury is among 40 schools, including 29 high schools, being renovated or rebuilt as part of the 2012 Bond program. Active construction is currently underway on roughly three dozen projects - more activity than at any other time in district history. For more information on HISD building programs, visit

Westbury Christian Dedication of Chapman Field
|
On Tuesday, February 28, Westbury Christian School's Wildcat varsity baseball team "played ball" on its new home field, Mark Chapman Field, following a brief dedication ceremony recognizing the late Mark Chapman, his wife Cheryl Mellenthin, the current and former WCS board members and volunteer project co-chairs - Randy King and Lee Martin - and WCS West Campus facilities director Mark Hall, all of whom gave so generously, of their time and financial blessings, to make the "field of dreams" a reality.
During the ceremony, WCS parent Rick Peters, the friend of Mark Chapman who introduced Mrs. Mellentin to the school, described Chapman as a savvy "Renaissance man" who excelled in many areas: business, poetry, art, philosophy, law and athletics. Chapman grew up in Kansas and competed as a student-athlete in high school - for which he held a shot put record for 47 years - and college. He earned his undergraduate degree at Kansas State University, also the Wildcats, and has generously supported scholarships and other programs at his alma mater for many years.
"Mark Chapman had a passion for life, and today we celebrate his life and thank Cheryl for her generosity, as his passions and memory live on at Chapman Field," Peters said. "We at WCS are quietly exceptional, and we celebrate Mark and Cheryl, an exceptional team, who quietly do their thing for the benefit of so many."
With the completion of Chapman Field, the Wildcat Athletic Complex on the school's West Campus is now home for varsity boys and girls soccer and varsity baseball, as well as several middle school sports, athletic practices, and the Fine Arts Department's dance program.

Westbury Christian School Boys Basketball Champions Honored at City Hall
|
 Council Member Green recognized and acknowledged the Westbury Christian School varsity boys basketball team and coaches before City Council with a mayoral proclamation for their state championship win. "These outstanding champions exemplify true sportsmanship and dedication to the game of basketball," states Council Member Green. On February 25, 2017, the Westbury Christian School boys' varsity basketball team defeated the Legacy Christian Eagles from Frisco to win their fifth consecutive Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools state title. For the past 26 years, the Westbury Christian School Wildcat basketball teams have been making their mark at the TAPPS state tournament.
Established in 1975, Westbury Christian School has been the visionary support of Westbury Church of Christ. Although staffed by members of the churches of Christ, the school is independently operated by a Board of Trustees. The congregation at the Westbury Church of Christ has donated the use of their facilities for the school since the beginning, but does not contribute funds for its operations. In 1988, Westbury Christian School received accreditation from two prestigious accrediting agencies; the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the National Christian Schools Association. These two agencies have allowed the Westbury Christian School credits to be acceptable at any accredited educational institution in the United States. Moreover, its graduates attend the finest colleges and universities.
Other than academics, Westbury Christian School has an outstanding athletic program. The athletic program is actively supported by parent volunteers who have formed the Westbury Christian School Athletic Association. This Association provides valuable support to the success of athletics at the school, receives generous contributions from several businesses in the community, and affectionately refer to these supporters as their "Wildcat Backers."

Brays Oaks
HCC Responds to Community Education Needs
|
 The new Houston Community College (HCC) Brays Oaks Center is responding to the increased demand for affordable workforce training in the Brays Oaks community. The state-of-the-art 28,000 square-foot facility bridges the gap between high school and a successful career by offering students in the community an opportunity to graduate and start working within six months to one year.
According to the Brays Oaks Management District, over 26 percent of residents ages 25 and older do not have a high school diploma. Another 23 percent have only completed high school or have received a GED. Additionally, more than 40 percent of the Brays Oaks population is Hispanic and many speak only Spanish.
The HCC Brays Oaks Campus opened at the beginning of this year. Enrollment continues to rise as the center provides a diverse community a variety of courses and certifications. The goal is to make going to college convenient, relevant and affordable.
Technology (IT) courses and certifications are among the options at the new center. It offers Network+ Certification, MS Office Suite Professional and A+ Certification classes. The classes all are designed to get a student started in a new career or give an existing professional an extra certification to either receive a promotion, a salary increase or apply for another job.
Having technical and professional certifications are increasingly more popular and important these days. "Community colleges, like HCC, play a critical role in training new workers and retraining veteran workers," said Moji Amini, HCC Division of Extended Learning Program Manager. "People interested in becoming computer support specialists generally need certificates in a computer-related field, as well as significant hands-on experience with computers to land good jobs."
The $12 million Brays Oaks Center sits near the intersection of West Bellfort Street and Riceville Road.
Register for summer classes starting Monday, April 3. The summer 2017 semester starts Monday, June 4. Deadline to register for classes is Sunday, June 3. To sign up, go to: hccs.edu/apply.
