Gas leases, football coaches on LISD agenda

The Lewisville ISD Board of Trustees is expected to consider the proposals made by natural gas companies Titan Operating, LLC and Williams Exploration to drill near LISD property.

The item was scheduled to be voted on last month, but it was postponed. Board members declined to say why.

Last month, the board approved a call for proposals to lease minerals at the Lewisville High School Killough and Harmon campuses.

This comes as Titan and Williams have filed requests for a Rule 37 exception to be allowed to drill closer to LISD property than what is currently allowed.

If approved by the Railroad Commission of Texas, the companies would be able to drill up to the district's property line and could extract minerals from underneath the district's property. LISD has filed a protest against both Rule 37 exception requests.

At Killough, the pad site for the 601-acre unit is located at the northeast corner of McGee Lane and Kansas City Southern Railroad, and it is located about 2,500 feet away from the campus.

At Harmon, Williams' closest pad site is located about 3,500 feet away from the school's building. The pad site involved in the Rule 37 case is more than 5,000 feet away from the building.

Also Monday, the board is expected to officially name the new football coaches at Lewisville and Flower Mound high schools.
