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.
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.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.
