The Houston Independent School District has identified the 1300 block of Capitol in Houston, Tx as the preferred future home for a new High School for the Performing and Visual Arts.
The district has been discussing about relocating the school for years, but it came up again last week at a panel discussion on the future of downtown.
The High School for the Performing and Visual Arts is now at 4001 Stanford in the Montrose neighborhood.
Despite public enthusiasm for the move, it will not happen anytime soon.
No district funds have been identified for construction, according to spokesman Jason Spencer.
The Houston tract, which is now a parking lot, once housed a public school.
Also, the district-owned site formerly served as the home of HISD’s central administration building.
