4 Plano ISD schools considered for closure – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
SUMMARY: The future of the Plano Independent School District (PISD) in North Texas is becoming clearer after a long-range facility planning committee recommended closing four campuses. Forman Elementary and Armstrong Middle Schools in the east cluster, and Davis Elementary and Carpenter Middle Schools in the central cluster are suggested for closure due to age, efficiency, and enrollment figures. However, further study is needed for the west cluster until December 2024. The proposed changes, aimed at addressing enrollment declines due to high housing costs and other factors, will be voted on by the PISD school board in June and implemented in the 2025-2026 school year.
