Again, a huge congratulations and heartfelt thank you to every single supporter in this community.
Because of your engagement, research, presence, conversations, and persistence, the CISD Board voted down the proposal to consolidate and close Town Center Elementary.
This wasn’t just a TCE win — it was a win for transparency, fairness, and data-driven decision-making across our entire district.
And notably, this outcome goes against the statewide trend, where many districts have approved school closures. Coppell stood together — and it mattered.
We also thank the CISD Board for their thoughtful deliberation. They recognized that the original proposal was not transparent, incomplete, and not data-driven.
Yes — serious financial work still lies ahead, but we can now move forward with a process grounded in integrity.
📌 What’s Next? Highlights from the Nov. 17 CISD Board Meeting
🧭 Zero-Based Staffing Study (Bottom-Up Review)
A full, foundational staffing review is launching — finally determining what CISD actually needs based on today’s and tomorrow’s enrollment.
This is a major and long-overdue step.
👥 Voluntary Retirement/Resignation Incentives
CISD is evaluating options to support staffing right-sizing through voluntary programs.
🚫 No School Closure Proposal (for now)
There will be no consolidation recommendation this year, giving time for deeper analysis and trust rebuilding.
🗺️ Boundary Realignment Study
CISD will study shifting some southern-zoned students to Mockingbird and Lakeside to balance enrollment.
🤝 Cowboys United Enrollment Initiative
A bold push to bring back students currently attending charter, private, or homeschool programs.
And coming January 2026:
🏡 “Every Voice, Every Block”
A massive door-to-door outreach campaign to reconnect with every neighborhood in Coppell.
CISD needs ~400 community volunteers — a great chance to serve and strengthen our district.
