As part of his update during the March 31 school board meeting, Keller ISD Interim Superintendent Cory Wilson said as enrollment continues to decline and school funding remains an issue, potentially closing schools and “budgeting effectively” will be key items for the 2025-26 school year.
The details
Wilson said the district currently has approximately 31,700 students enrolled, which is down approximately 3,400 students from the peak enrollment in 2019-20. The decline has led to an underuse of schools across the district.
“Underutilization of facilities is inefficient and it does lead to increased operating costs,” Wilson said. “To address this issue, we’re going to have to look at how many campuses we actually need based on our projected future enrollment. This analysis may lead to a recommendation to close one or more campuses.”
