CENTER POINT ISD

What CENTER POINT ISD does

Center Point Independent School District is a public K-12 school district and political subdivision of the State of Texas, operating under the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and governed by a seven-member elected Board of Trustees. The district serves approximately 493 enrolled students across two campuses — Center Point Elementary and Center Point Secondary — in Center Point, Texas, situated in the Texas Hill Country within Kerr County. Its core product is a comprehensive public education program spanning pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, including advanced academic coursework (Pre-AP, AP, dual credit), six Career and Technical Education (CTE) endorsement pathways (Applied Agricultural Engineering, Culinary Arts, Health Care Diagnostics, Plant Science, Teaching and Training, Web Development), 11 interscholastic athletic programs, special education services, English as a Second Language support, and food and transportation services. The district also operates two student-run culinary venues, The Pirate Bistro and the community-facing Center Point Bistro, as practical training outlets.

The district's operational technology stack is standard U.S. K-12 EdTech: district-issued Chromebooks under a 1:1 program paired with Google Workspace for Education; the ParentSquare communication platform for family and staff messaging (synced to PowerSchool as the Student Information System); Spiceworks for IT ticketing; PaySchools Central for food service payments; Centegix for visitor management; and BoardBook for board agenda management. There is no proprietary technology platform; Center Point ISD operates as a consumer and integrator of third-party EdTech rather than a developer.

Center Point ISD generates no tuition revenue and operates as a non-profit government entity. Funding flows from three streams: Texas state education funding formulas (the largest component), local property taxes (M&O and I&S), and federal Title program grants (Title I, Title IX, special education, ESL). Ancillary revenue is generated through food service meal payments and community dining at the Bistro venues, but these are immaterial relative to government appropriations. The go-to-market is enrollment-based and geographically bounded: families residing within district boundaries enroll directly through the K-12 registration system. There is no external ownership, no parent company, and no venture, private equity, or public capital structure. Leadership consists of an appointed Superintendent (Joshua Limmer, effective September 2, 2025) and the elected Board of Trustees; the most recent material operational event was a February 2026 water main break that suspended classes until February 19, 2026.
