The decision to shut down four PISD campuses after the 2024-25 school year came following a months-long process to evaluate the district’s building and property efficiencies, according to a presentation from district staff. The 70-member, board-appointed long-range facility planning committee considered campus capacity, facility assessment scores and operating costs, among other factors, when considering school closures. Two closing schools, Armstrong and Forman, feed into Plano East Senior High School, while Carpenter and Davis feed into Plano Senior High School. District staff is conducting further research on schools that feed into Plano West Senior High School. The west cluster is operating at 83% of its capacity, compared to 71.3% and 65.7% in the east and central clusters, respectively. The east and central cluster capacities will increase to 78.8% and 71.4%, respectively, following the closures. Williams added that certain areas of the west cluster are experiencing “unpredictable growth.” Students at the closed campuses will be reassigned to nearby schools, along with the following programming changes: • The centralized special education program located at Carpenter Middle School will be relocated to a new campus to be named prior to the 2025-26 school year. • The Regional Day School Program for the Deaf would move campuses from Davis Elementary School to Harrington Elementary School. Deputy Superintendent Johnny Hill added that current staff at closing schools will be reassigned to other campuses. “We are going to protect the staff through this process,” he said.
