Durham Intermediate will close ahead of 2027-28 school year

Carroll ISD trustees voted to close Durham Inter- mediate School ahead of the 2027-28 school year, following a 655-student enrollment drop, resulting in a $7 million state funding loss since 2019. By the numbers For the 2025-26 school year, 664 fifth- and sixth- grade students attend Durham, which has capacity for 849 students. A fall demographer’s report shows that Durham is projected to lose roughly 160 students by the 2030-31 school year. Durham also requires about $8 million in repairs, more than any other campus, CISD Executive Communi- cations Director Jeff Brady said. Board President Cameron Bryan said the district will try to sell the Durham property. Deputy Super- intendent of Finance and Operations Chase Park expects the sale to net CISD between $20 million and $25 million. Budget projections show that closing Durham will save the district about $2.55 million each year

CISD enrollment projections The district is projected to lose roughly 800 more students by the 2030-31 school year. The enrollment drop has caused the district to lose about $7 million in state funding.

GCISD names DeMasters as interim superintendent The Grapevine-Colleyville ISD board of trustees voted to name Rick DeMasters as the interim superintendent. He replaced Brad Schnautz, starting on Jan. 5. Schnautz was hired as the executive director of the Region 11 Education Service Center. DeMasters started working as the interim superintendent Dec. 17, according to a news release. Schnautz’s last day was Jan. 2, Director of Communications Rosemary Gladden said. DeMasters has been retired since 2021 but has spent more than 30 years in education, according to board President Shannon Braun. He will serve in the role until the board hires a new superintendent.

Carroll ISD will hold its trustee elections in November instead of May for all future elections, following the board’s decision to move the elec- tion date at a Dec. 15 meeting. Some background House Bill 3546, which became law in June, allows school boards to hold their elections in November alongside the general election. Trustees unanimously approved the change, with board President Cameron Bryan citing improved voter accessibility and reduced costs for the district. “November elections offer more polling loca- tions, in May we only have one, and that’s town hall.” Bryan said. Trustees that would be up for re-election in May will get an additional six months added to their term to accommodate the new November election date, CISD Executive Communications Director Carroll ISD updates trustee election rules

“Holding elections in November allows the district to share election costs with state and federal

elections, reducing or even eliminating the expense of conducting a standalone May election.” CAMERON BRYAN, CARROLL ISD BOARD PRESIDENT

Jeff Brady said at the meeting. What else? The board also moved to change the election method from a plurality to a majority vote, requir- ing candidates to earn more than 50% of the vote to win. If no candidate receives more than 50%, the board will call for a runoff election between the two candidates that received the most votes, the policy states. The general uniform election in Tarrant County is scheduled for Nov. 3, according to the county elections website.

North Texas universities to reduce maternal morbidity rates

Dallas counties with assistance from every major health system in North Texas, according to a news release. Some participating systems include Baylor Scott & White and JPS Health network. The background The first initiative launched in spring 2025 to address blood transfusions, which officials said was the most common obstetric complication. “We found that handing [an over-the-counter] bottle of iron to women during their prenatal visit, rather than recommending that they purchase it on their own, reduces the risk of anemia during delivery, pregnancy, improves health outcomes and reduces symptomatic anemia postpartum by one third,” Catherine Spong, a UT Southwestern professor and the chair of obstetrics and gynecol- ogy, said. The accelerator will officially start in January 2026, with initial impact results expected to be released in mid- to fall 2026.

A new partnership between Texas Christian University and the University of Texas Southwest- ern Medical Center was announced at the TCU campus Nov. 17 to help combat maternal morbidity rates through the North Texas Maternal Health

Key facts and figures The Tarrant County Maternal & Infant Health Coalition, where the accelerator originated, has previously found: 26.8 deaths per 100,000 live births in Texas and 23.3 in Tarrant County from 2016 to 2020

Accelerator. In a nutshell

The $25 million accelerator, raised by eleven partners across North Texas, will primarily focus on reducing obstetric complications, or health problems during pregnancy, childbirth or post- partum, by more than 20% over three years and rewarding maternal health improvements through sustainable incentives. “Keeping all of our mothers healthy requires our health care system to coordinate in some new ways,” said Cameron Combs, senior director of Child Poverty Action Lab and the event emcee. Officials said data gathered through the part- nership will come from patients in Tarrant and

Metroport Meals on Wheels brings joy to local seniors

Sadie’s, a consignment shop, donates all its proceeds to Metroport Meals on Wheels.

“[These] meals brought peace of mind for both as well as stress relief for [the daughter],” King said. State Farm insurance agent Bill Tait oered a promotion in partnership with Dirty Dough Southlake to give funds to the nonprot. “My dad and I used to deliver when I was a kid,” he said. “It is about companionship and someone to talk to; seniors struggle with no family or anything around.” How to help Metroport Meals on Wheels is always looking for volunteers to deliver meals, King said.

On Dec. 10, the Grapevine-Colleyville ISD board of trustees voted to close Dove and Bransford elementary schools ahead of the 2026-27 school year, following a six-year enrollment decline. The decision follows a recommendation by the Education Master Planning Committee to close the schools. GCISD formed a committee of district sta and community members to address the district’s nances in January 2025, and it began considering campus closures last May, said Nicole Lyons, executive director of communications. District documents show enrollment in GCISD has dropped by about 1,500 students since 2019, from 13,294 to 11,818 in 2025. The state provides funding based on average daily attendance, and the enrollment drop has caused the district to lose about $10.5 million in state funding over that same period, district Chief Operations Ocer Paula Barbaroux said at a Dec. 2 board meeting. “At a period of time when the district was growing, it appeared that the district believed it needed to have 11 [elementary] campuses and basically a capacity of about 7,100 students in those 11 schools,” Barbaroux said. “Today, what we see is just over 1,900 open seats.” Dove students will relocate to Cannon and Silver Lake elementary schools, and Bransford students will be reassigned to O.C. Taylor and Colleyville elementary schools for the 2026-27 school year. About 120 O.C. Taylor students will also relocate to Heritage Elementary School. The committee developed a rubric that evaluated each campus on several factors, including future repair costs and number of students enrolled. Dove scored the lowest on the rubric with a 12.4, while Bransford was ranked seventh out of 11 campuses with a 19.4.

Breaking it down

District savings closing Dove, Bransford The district expects to save roughly $788,000 per campus closure through support staff cuts in campus consolidation. 1 Support staff and admin staff: $1,576,424

Closing the two campuses will save the district roughly $2.7 million annually between staff cuts and operations costs, including about $1.6 mil- lion in support and administrative staff cuts for positions like custodians, principals and adminis- trative assistants, according to budget projections. GCISD will also eliminate 10 teacher positions through attrition, for $704,000 in savings. Chief Human Resources Officer Kelly Mires said GCISD will work with the staff at Dove and Bransford to find them a new role in the district.

What’s next

By the numbers

GCISD fund balance projections The district’s fund balance is projected to drop below 20% of expenditures. Fund balance without consolidation Fund balance with consolidation

Bransford houses the medical assistant classroom, which serves students with special medical needs and students with disabilities. Lyons said district officials plan to move the classroom to Colleyville Elementary School for the 2026-27 school year. In addition to campus closures, trustees voted at the Dec. 10 meeting to start the process of selling three district properties— the Heritage Annex, the Professional Development and Education Center, and the Dove campus—to bring in additional revenue. “I don’t like this, and no one does,” board Vice President Mary Humphrey said at the Dec. 10 meeting. “I’m voting for this because I believe it has been inevitable for a long time.”

The district’s main source of revenue is property taxes, which the district receives in November, GCISD Chief Financial Officer David Johnson said. District officials aim to keep the fund balance above 20% of expenditures to cover the four- to-five month gap between the end of the fiscal year in June and the November tax revenue disbursement. Projections from Johnson put the fund balance for the 2025-26 fiscal year at 19.9% of total expen- ditures and will drop to under 11% by 2029 without consolidation. With consolidation, the fund balance will drop to about 15% by 2029. The enrollment drop, inflation and only a $55 increase in the basic allotment from state lawmak- ers in the last legislative session, all contributed to the district’s current financial situation, said Johnson, who is retiring on Jan. 30, at the Dec. 2 meeting.
