Plano ISD is poised to vote to shut down four campuses Monday night, despite pleas from parents to find a way to keep the doors open.
"I come to tell you how great this school is," one parent told school board members at a meeting on the issue.Foreman Elementary, Armstrong Middle, Davis Elementary & Carpenter Middle are all recommended to shut down at the end of the next school year.
It's a story heard before. Richardson ISD is in the same boat. Ranch-style homes that cost $200,000 not that long ago are now going from more than $1 million. Young families on a budget can't afford it, and so they've moved on.
