Life School worked with light engineers and also conducted a lighting study to ensure that stadium lights drop to zero foot candles before the property line.

*Light intensity is often measured in foot-candles, which measures the amount of light that hits a one-square-foot surface from a consistent light source that's one foot away. One foot-candle is equal to one lumen per square foot, where a lumen is the total amount of visible light emitted by a source. A higher number of lumens indicates brighter light, while a lower number indicates dimmer light.  Foot-candles are commonly used by lighting professionals to calculate light levels in businesses and outdoor spaces.

We are working with architects, engineers and master planners to ensure that the property is well-designed, aesthetically pleasing, and retains trees and green spaces around the entire campus.

No. Unlike traditional ISDs, charter school construction is not funded by local taxes. Life School is bond-rated, which means that Life School will provide its own funding to construct the school.

In 2007, the property was purchased by A.W. Brown Leadership Academy for school development. Life School later purchased the property, continuing its intended purpose for a new school.

It is common for schools to pursue a Planned Development (PD). Planned Developments can include a variety of amenities, such as schools, parks, recreational facilities, and utilities.

In such circumstances, Texas courts have ruled that a municipality's zoning authority is secondary to the authority of a public school district, unless the municipality can show that the school district is acting in an unreasonable or arbitrary manner.

After purchasing the property, Life School met with neighborhood leaders; listened to community feedback; and made adjustments to the plan where feasible, including relocating the athletic fields; investing an additional $3 million in road improvements; establishing plans for stone fencing and a tree buffer along the read of the property; and investing in light and sound upgrades for the athletic fields.
