Two Plano elementaries and two middle schools could close if trustees follow recommendations presented Tuesday night.
A committee of more than 70 Plano ISD staff, parents and community members recommended the district close the doors of Davis and Forman Elementary and Armstrong and Carpenter Middle schools.. “However, we also recognize that this is an opportunity to improve learning conditions for many students by providing higher-quality facilities and more access to programs across the district.”Declining enrollment is a key reason for considering shutting down campuses, officials said.
The board will consider the recommendations and is expected to make a decision regarding the future of the four schools in an upcoming board meeting, according to the district. In early May, trustees voted to repurpose any surplus property in a way that benefits the community. Last year, trustees approved a strategic roadmap that includes removing barriers for academic programs to ensure they are accessible to all students; improving advising for students and families ahead of graduation; and implementing strategies to better recruit and retain staff.The DMN Education Lab deepens the coverage and conversation about urgent education issues critical to the future of North Texas.
