Quote of note

“Unfortunately, due to the insufficient state funding formula, and the recent state budget that was passed with no increase to the basic allotment since 2019 amid record inflation, there are inadequate and uncertain state resources long-term,” said Cameron Bryan, president of the Carroll ISD board of trustees in the news release. “However, for the benefit of our community, keen business leaders and investors can now step up and enjoy a tremendous opportunity to own a piece of Southlake history and to help our schools through this public-private partnership.”
