LISD trustees reviewed initial results from a districtwide facilities evaluation aimed at rightsizing surplus buildings with declining student enrollment during an Oct. 7 workshop. The board resumed the conversation Oct. 21. In May, district leaders convened the Community Efficiency Committee, which was made up of 30 staff, parents and community members. The group met six times since May to analyze campus’s optimal capacity compared to the district’s forecasted enrollment. The committee identified 20 campuses for further review that could lead to boundary adjustments or, in some cases, facility closures, Superintendent Lori Rapp said. The list of schools that may be closed was reduced from 10 to five, while the number of schools that could have boundary adjustments reduced from 10 to eight.

Put in perspective
enrollment levels, according to the meeting presentation. For example, B.B. Owen Elementary School, which is one of the schools being considered for closure, has an optimal enrollment of 653 students but an enrollment of about 250 in the 2024-25 school year. This is expected to stay around 245 students in the 2027-28 school year—about 37% of its capacity level—according to forecasted enroll- ment numbers.
LISD currently has around 48,000 students enrolled. The district predicts an enrollment decrease of about 1,300 students going into the 2024-25 school year and anticipates a continued decline until enrollment levels out around 45,000 students in the next decade, Rapp said in an email. This is primarily attributed to lower birth rates and a high average home price in LISD at $492,716. The efficiency committee found a number of LISD schools are operating below capacity or optimal
