LISD budget shortfall to change student zoning, programs this fall

INSIDE

BY ADAM DOE

Lewisville ISD ocials plan to relocate several programs out of their current spaces at the Student Success Center and Learning Center ahead of the 2026- 27 school year. District ocials declared the facilities as surplus in August 2025. District ocials are also repurposing Mill Street Elementary School as a preschool and relocating the school’s 616 students to four dierent campuses as part of a state-mandated turnaround plan, following multiple years of low accountability ratings, according to TEA data.

The Lewisville Learning Center is one of two surplus buildings with programs moving to other facilities ahead of the 202627 school year. (Courtesy Lewisville ISD)

Flower Mound could adopt a cost recovery policy, a legally defensible framework setting targets to recoup non-capital expenses for provid- ing programs and services, after discussing the initiative in early January. The overview New Flower Mound policy could adjust program fees tiers of services, with increases associated with the level of benefit to an individual compared to the community. Programs with more individual benefit, such as the summer swim team, may have fees to recover some expenses, putting them in a higher tier of cost recovery, Chief Financial Officer John Zagurski said. The town’s policy cannot covering capital

Tier 1: 0%-10% recovery Primary community benefit Tier 2: 11%-40% recovery Considerable community and some individual benefit Tier 3: 41%-60% recovery Balanced community and individual benefits Flower Mound officials are discussing the creation of a policy that will set target percentages for recovering program costs. Proposed cost recovery tiers

Town officials looked at the policy because of a need to diversify the town’s revenue, according to town documents. Some programs already sup- ported by fees, such as those at the Community Activity Center, would likely be in a higher tier of the policy. Additionally, the cost recovery policy would also protect the town from potential litigation by creating a legally defensible framework, per town documents. Town staff modeled a draft policy presented Jan. 2 after the city of Plano’s. More details Within the policy, town staff have created five

expenses for programs, such as facilities, Zagur- ski added. State law states that a fee becomes an unlawful tax when it starts to function as a revenue generator with profit rather than a cost recovery. “You can see it through impact fees and how we charge licenses and permits,” Zagurski said. “We used to be able to charge building permits based on the cost of the house being built.” Looking ahead Town staff will analyze the results of a council member survey and recommend changes.

Tier 4: 61%-80% recovery Considerable individual and some community support Tier 5: 81%-100% recovery Primary individual benefit

Argyle Town Council calls 2 special elections Argyle Town Council called special elections for May 2 to ask voters if they want to reauthorize the street maintenance sales tax collections and extend terms for council members to three years at the Jan. 20 meeting. What’s happening? Currently, Argyle collects 0.5% of its local sales tax for the street and maintenance fund. The special election will ask voters if they want to continue putting 0.5% of sales tax dollars toward that fund, per town documents. Diving deeper Voters will also be asked if they want to extend council terms from two to three years and stagger the election schedule, per town documents. If approved, council will have three year terms and the election schedule will be as follows:

The threat of the Islamization of Texas is being felt even here in Denton County. We need a commissioner who isn’t afraid to stand up to protect us from these threats. Ensuring that growth is done right is the only way to protect the quality of life in Denton County. Why are you running for office?

I’m a lifelong conservative, rancher and business owner with decades of corporate and small-business experience, and a longtime Denton County resident. Precinct 4 faces rapid growth and needs principled, full-time leadership. I’ll fight for fiscal discipline, public safety, responsible infrastructure and transparent government—putting taxpayers and Denton County families first.

I am running to bring proven, conservative leadership to the county commission. As a lifelong Denton resident and mayor, I understand our unique challenges. I was selected to Trump’s America First Mayor Council for championing fiscal responsibility, protecting our taxpayers and ensuring Denton County remains the best place to live.

I pledge to continue the conservative policies of the court, keep property taxes low and spend tax dollars wisely. There are many road projects to finish and a county fire protection plan to implement. Voters can check my list of accomplishments on my website. I will bring results, not rhetoric.

What are the biggest challenges facing the county?

Out of control growth, taxes and external threats to our way of life are the biggest challenge facing Denton County.

Denton County’s biggest challenges are managing rapid growth while maintaining safe roads, reliable transportation infrastructure and strong public safety. We must plan responsibly, invest wisely and live within our means. Fiscal discipline and active community engagement are essential to ensure growth strengthens—not strains—our quality of life.

Denton County faces three critical hurdles: rising property taxes that burden families, severe traffic congestion caused by rapid population growth and the need for increased public safety. We must proactively manage our growth to ensure it doesn’t outpace our infrastructure or compromise the safety of our neighborhoods.

The two biggest issues are public safety and taxes.

Having the courage to say no to developers who want to insert Sharia Law or simply overload our infrastructure by building homes before the roads are built. How do you plan to address these issues?

I’ll prioritize proactive planning, data-driven infrastructure investment and coordination with cities, Texas Department of Transportation and first responders. By focusing on congestion relief, road safety, and emergency readiness—while demanding fiscal discipline and transparency—we can manage growth responsibly. Ongoing community engagement will guide decisions and ensure taxpayer dollars deliver real results.

I will prioritize a low tax rate by streamlining county government and eliminating waste. To fix traffic, I’ll leverage regional partnerships to accelerate road projects. Furthermore, I will ensure our sheriff’s department has the advanced resources and full support necessary to keep our growing community safe and secure.

We have lowered the county tax rate annually, now at its lowest in 40 years. I pledge to continue that trend. I fully support public safety provided by our sheriff and other first responders. I pledge to continue supporting our law enforcement personnel and completing projects for road safety.

Candidates were asked to keep responses under 50 words, answer the questions provided and avoid attacking opponents. Answers may have been edited or cut to adhere to those guidelines, or for style and clarity. For more election coverage, go to www.communityimpact.com/voter-guide.

Education

BY ADAM DOE & PATRICIA ORTIZ

Lewisville ISD adjusts school day, start times Lewisville ISD will swap the start times for high school and middle school and extend the school day by 10 minutes for all grade levels starting with the 2026-27 school year, following approval at a Jan. 12 board meeting. The board approved the time change by a 5-2 vote, with trustees Allison Lassahn and Sheila Taylor opposed, and the 10-minute extension unanimously.

AISD approves hybrid, virtual programs Argyle ISD’s board of trustees unanimously approved a new hybrid and virtual learning program, which would start in the 2026-27 school year, at its Jan. 20 meeting. The new program became an option for public schools after the Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 569, which allows school districts to receive full funding for students learning remotely, per district documents. The gist AISD is bringing hybrid and virtual learning options for its students in an effort to com- pete with homeschooling, officials said. “People want choice, and public school needs to be more creative in how they compete,” trustee Josh Westrom said. Westrom added the programs could miti- gate future overcrowding at some schools.

The impact In the 2025-26 school year, high school classes start before middle school. For 2026-27, middle school classes will start before high school. Class for every grade level will start five minutes earlier and end five minutes later than the current school year, making the school day 10 minutes longer. District officials lengthened the school day to bank additional minutes for bad weather days and to give staff more time for work and profes- sional development and planning. The new start times and extended school day will take effect for the 2026-27 school year, which begins Aug. 12.

Middle school will start before high school in Lewisville ISD starting with the 2026-27 school year.

Flower Mound council approves 65-home Canyon Falls subdivision Flower Mound Town Council unanimously approved the subdivision site plan for Canyon Falls Village 3, which sits on 27 acres, by a 4-0 vote during the Jan. 20 meeting. Council member Chris Drew was absent from the meeting. What you need to know The addition to Canyon Falls will be located near a future intersection at Schmitz Boulevard and Denton Creek Boulevard. Bret Pedigo with Terra Manna, a representative of the applicant Perry Homes, said the developer would be constructing the two roadways and other necessary infrastruc- ture improvements for the subdivision. According to town documents, the subdivision will include 65 single-family residential lots and six open space lots.

Argyle seeks updated developer fees Argyle town officials are seeking to adjust impact fees assessed for new developments to help fund capital improvement projects over the next five years. State law requires that the town have a capital improvement advisory committee to make recommendations to council on the impact fees, Community Development Director Harrison Wicks said at the Jan. 7 planning and zoning meeting. The details The committee is being formed to help the town update its impact fees, which haven’t been updated since 2020. “Construction has definitely increased in cost over the last five years and so we expect that fee to rise,” Wicks said.

Neighborhood streets project nears end Construction is nearing completion on several Highland Village neighborhood streets. What’s happening As of late January, work crews are install- ing the water main on Oak Street and sewer pipe on Gayle Lane. The water main along Edgewater Drive will also be replaced. Work began in July 2025 and must be finished by early March. The nearly $1.92 million project includes: • Oak Street • Cedar Drive

Flower Mound to add signals at 3 intersections

As part of the site plan, two exceptions were approved: one to allow areas with slopes between 5% and 12%, and those with slopes greater than 12% to be impacted during development. The sec- ond exception allows construction and construc- tion-related activity within a floodplain. Zooming in The 65-home addition will be the final resi- dential subdivision built within Canyon Falls, according to previous reporting. Once built, it will bring the total number of homes within Canyon Falls to 795.

Town officials plan to improve traffic and pedes- trian signals at three intersections in 2026. The overview The first project includes building new signals at the intersection of Flower Mound Road and Quail Run Road. The signals are necessary because of the proximity to Liberty Elementary School and projected growth in the area, town officials said. A second project includes rebuilding the signals at the intersection of Cross Timbers Road and

Luther Lane, which is located near the Parker Square shopping center. The final project includes adding pedestrian signals and ADA-accessible ramps at the intersection of Old Settlers Road and McKamy Creek Road. The project, which costs nearly $1.25 million, will be funded through the town’s general fund, and construction could take five months after a four- to five-month design process. Projects could be prioritized by the town’s transportation commission in April.

Trustees declared four properties surplus at an Aug. 11 meeting: the Success Center, Learning Center and four elementary schools that closed before the 2025-26 school year. LISD ocials’ goal is to address the projected $2.8 million budget shortfall for FY 2025-26 through selling or leasing the learning and success centers. The Learning Center houses programs including night high school and LISD’s food pantry. The success center hosts the Disciplinary Alternative Education Program and Teaching for Emotional, Academic and Motivational Success program. The programs are proposed to move to about 10 dierent campuses and facilities across LISD. “Centralizing these programs in a single location creates accessibility challenges for some feeder patterns,” Superintendent Lori Rapp said. LISD ocials also voted to convert Mill Street Elementary into a preschool. The conversion will increase the district’s early education capacity for the Lewisville High School feeder pattern.

Some background

Looking ahead

Mill Street students will be reassigned to one of four campuses based on location and bilingual status. Nonbilingual students will be reassigned to Valley Ridge STEM Academy, and bilingual students will transfer to Lakeland, Lewisville or Prairie Trail elementary, based on zoning and availability, per the turnaround plan. Valley Ridge Elementary School could receive as many as 160 students, while the other three campuses could absorb up to 100 students, LISD Communications Director Samantha Fitzpatrick said. Fitzpatrick added the program relocations will require renovations at the new campuses. District officials are working with an architect to determine the work’s scope. Officials plan to relocate the programs by the 2026-27 school year.

and 2025-26. Local funding sources contributed about $150 million more in FY 2025-26 than in 2015-16. Home values have increased since 2015, resulting in more local funding, but the stagnant student allotment has not kept pace with inflation, Chief Financial Officer Scott Wrehe said. “The state funding formula has not been adjusted enough to help the district account for the significant inflationary costs we have faced since 2019,” Wrehe said.

Enrollment dropped by about 7,000 students in 10 years, declining from 53,396 in FY 2015-16 to 46,371 in FY 2025-26. Texas school districts receive funding from the state based on average daily attendance. Previous Community Impact reporting shows trustees voted to close several elementary schools in December 2024 to combat the budget challenges caused by the state funding loss, inflation, stagnant per-student allotment and declining enrollment. The state’s contribution to the district’s budget dropped by roughly $20 million between FY 2015-16

Veteran-owned trailer serves clean coee in Argyle

Stumpf is in the process of launching her non-prot organization, Soar Above.

Bunker Brew serves organic coee out of a converted horse trailer and seeks to advocate for women and veterans in the community, owner Amy Stumpf said. Stumpf served in the United States Air Force for three years active and two active reserves, she said. “The Air Force taught me discipline, adaptabil- ity, the importance of mission-driven leadership, showing up prepared and taking care of the people around you,” Stumpf said. “Those lessons are foundational to how I operate Bunker Brew.” How we got here Stumpf started Bunker Brew to raise money for her breast cancer treatments while still nding time to homeschool her daughter, she said. “Surviving breast cancer twice reinforced those values [learned in the Air Force] in a very personal way,” Stumpf said. “It strengthened my resilience, gave me a deeper sense of purpose, and shifted my focus toward wellness, balance and community impact.” Stumpf has now been cancer free for a year and attends catering events, weddings and school events with her daughter, giving back a portion of the funds made at school events to the parent teacher association. Stumpf updates the Bunker Brew Facebook page with the trailer’s location.

What’s on the menu? Stumpf orders the coee from a veter- an-owned business in San Antonio and uses Monin branded syrups because they’re the cleanest product for syrups, Stumpf said. She orders matcha from a place in Japan because it helps with breast cancer and serves organic Chai tea, she said. What’s next? Stumpf is in the process of launching her nonprot organization, Soar Above, which will establish a community for those struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder or breast cancer, she said. “I didn’t realize how much there was a need and how much my story would impact somebody else’s story,” she said. “I try not to look at it as, ‘I had cancer twice.’ I try to say, ‘What did I learn, and who can I help?’ I hope that the coee shop and Soar Above do that.” Stumpf plans to move into a building in Argyle to serve coee, and organic, clean snacks and pastries. A portion of Bunker Brew’s prots will go toward Soar Above, Stumpf said. “I hope to have a place that’s community-cen- tric, focusing on women in our community,” Stumpf said.

Flurry’s Market and Provisions oers quality meats

Flurry’s Market and Provisions in Flower Mound opened in December 2021 as a meat market and small lunch bistro and has since expanded to serve more chef-driven meals using the same quality ingredients sold in the market, co-owner Clayton Flurry said. “Over time we’ve grown the bistro to where it behaves like a full restaurant,” he said. Flurry owns the bistro with his wife, Katie Flurry. The business has two locations in Flower Mound; one on 2608 Long Prairie Road and the other located at 2500 Lakeside Parkway, Ste. 100, which is called Flurry’s Lakeside. What they serve Flurry’s sells meats sourced from all around the United States and binds and ages the beef in house, Clayton Flurry said. The restaurant is known for their burgers and barbecue, but also sells chicken, steak, pork and sandwiches. “We smoke a lot of our own meats, but we also have partnered with Terry Sullivan, or Sullivan [Old Town] Barbecue, over in Lewisville, [which has] true Texas barbecue,” Clayton Flurry said. “He smokes his meat over Post Oak and we serve his brisket here.” Flurry’s hired a chef that takes the meat products to create market-to-plate dishes, such as the bayou chicken and Cajun sausage pasta, which includes chicken, spicy Andouille sausage, pasta,

and Creole sauce, according to its website. “He’s taken his experience, our quality proteins, [and] has married those two things together [to] plate some of the most beautiful, delicious [and] quality food that is in this town,” Clayton Flurry said. What makes them special Clayton Flurry said he prioritizes good service and creating a community-centric environment. “What we do is food, but our mission statement has nothing to do with food,” Clayton Flurry said. “It’s excellence and service, which is basically a big umbrella for everything else that we do.” Clayton Flurry says he wants to get to know customers’ names and family members, and understand what they like and don’t like. Additionally, Flurry’s now has 50 employees and manages his sta like its a team, Clayton Flurry said. He coaches his sta members and expects quality service from all of them. Looking ahead Clayton Flurry plans to expand in 2026 by buy- ing another restaurant in the area and “leveling up” their service. “Service costs nothing,” he said. “Food costs things, but for me to be polite to you costs me nothing, and usually has a return.”

Clayton Flurry plans to expand in 2026.
