Glad you’re doing a story on this. It highlights how school districts can be split along economic lines. And this may become more common in the future. Lower income households in a newly created district can get subpar schooling if the tax base isn’t rich enough. Of course this is happening because of the economics of individual cities and counties nearby. But to split an existing district is a pretty callous thing to do.
You have large districts such as Lewisville ISD, Frisco ISD, Plano ISD, etc, and being large districts has t caused the need for a split! 🙄 This screams classism all day.
Why didn't she respond to my idea to help homelessness in Fort Worth? I have an excellent idea she did not make time to hear. 1 building, resources, daycare, religion, training, housing, etc, all on the busline. All by donations. Because there is no profit to make. Allegedly, and IMO, I'm not a fan of hers. Could have acknowledged the idea, but no.
The money available would be different. Public schools are supported by property taxes, and people have already calculated the difference in the "alleged proposal" based on the taxable property base. The counter question would be, "if those supporting a split say it is solely about making both sides smaller in number, then would they consider a proposal to split north/south instead of east/west?" That would place equal numbers of both affluent families and low income families on both sides. If the answer seems to be no, then you know the proposal is not really about numbers of students or "making two smaller districts."
The federal government will absolutely give more federal funding for education to the poorer schools and additional funding for students on free or reduced lunch program, coded students and students that don't speak English. Every year the top rated schools for educational spending per pupil are poor minority schools and that is a simple and easy fact to find
I have lived in Keller for 30 years and it get’s stranger, less safe and more radical all the time
It was not a good place to live for me. Unfriendly, weird behavior and it felt unsafe. I was REALLY happy to move away from there.

Gotta keep the poors away from the kids with a future.

The sea was parted with faith following , and strength and faith and water is far more powerful than tracks .
Why would y'all state the students would get a lesser education if they split? 🤔
