Mueller Education Action Team
Even before anyone moved into the homes of Mueller, a small group of residents began working to promote the selection of Mueller as a site for an elementary school in the AISD 2008 Bond Program . Residents and representatives from Catellus attended AISD School Board meetings and spoke to the influx of children in the development and the concern of overcrowding the surrounding elementary schools.
At the recommendation of the Community Bond Oversight Committee (CBOC) , Mueller was not named as a site on the bond, but an elementary school was left unnamed, with the site to be decided at a later date. The date for that decision has been postponed several times as the economy and the hiring of Dr. Meria Carstarphen as superintendent changed the dynamics of the decision.
Sensing urgency, the Mueller residents became more organized and formed the Mueller Education Action Team (MEAT) to not only promote the placement of a school in the Mueller Development, but to work to improve and promote the quality of the schools in the area, and to be a resource for the community in matters regarding education.
