school closures

A committee for the North East Independent School District has recommended closing Driscoll Middle School, Wilshire Elementary School, and Clear Spring Elementary School.

Community members may select from nearly a dozen potential uses, including mental health services, early childhood education for children from 0-3, affordable housing for SAISD teachers and staff, and green spaces like parks and playgrounds.

SAISD’s Executive Director of Enrollment Diane Fernandez told trustees on Monday they’re still holding seats for about 300 students who didn’t confirm they weren’t returning.

The district is putting a plan in place to find uses for 19 empty schools — 15 that trustees voted to close last year, plus four more that were already empty.

Team advises SAISD to partner with city and county; survey neighborhoods for needs empty buildings can fulfill.
