PLANO ISD CONSIDERS CLOSING THESE 4 SCHOOLS

Plano ISD is considering closing two elementary schools and two middle schools
by the 2025 school year. District leaders say it's needed to deal with changing
enrollment.

PLANO, Texas - Plano ISD is considering closing two elementary schools and two
middle schools by the 2025 school year.

District leaders say it's needed to deal with changing enrollment.





The school board did not take action on the recommendations presented during
Tuesday night’s meeting.

The driving force behind the recommendations is the declining enrollment in
certain parts of the city.



The number of graduating seniors is larger than the current kindergarten
classes. 



Last year, the district formed a planning committee to come up with a 10-year
strategic plan for the district. That included closing and consolidating
schools. 

The committee recommended closing the following schools: Davis Elementary,
Forman Elementary, Armstrong Middle School and Carpenter Middle School.

The schools are in the central and eastern sectors of the city that have seen
the biggest declines in enrollment.

For example, Carpenter had a capacity for nearly 1,400 students, but only 500
enrolled.

Some of the schools were older as well and needed costly renovations to stay
open.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS CLOSING 4 PLANO ISD SCHOOLS

The Plano ISD is considering closing four schools due to failing enrollment. Two
elementary schools and two middle schools were recommended for closure at
Tuesday night's school board meeting.

Families and staff at those four campuses received a letter Tuesday about the
recommendation to the board. 

If the board approves the recommendations, students at several schools would be
rezoned. 

Transportation routes would have to be redrawn as well. 

Committee members addressed questions over the tedious and emotional process it
took to make the recommendations. 

If approved, the recommended closures would save around $5 million in annual
operating costs. There would also be a one-time capital savings of about $20
million.

Plano ISD says it's seen a continued drop in enrollment over the years. Closing
some campuses would save the district millions of dollars.

The committee did not make recommendations about campuses in the western part of
town, where enrollment is actually going up.

The committee says no employees will lose their jobs if the recommendations are
approved. 

The next school board meeting is June 25.
