If you are going to or already have young kids in public schools, it would behoove you to find a district right now that is not projected to be battling enrollment decline. In DFW, that would be Denton ISD, Northwest ISD, HEB ISD, Aledo, and the northern burbs in Collin County. We are in HEB and already have an announced ballot initiative to raise property taxes to bridge the funding gap from the legislature. If that does not pass, we will have to cut programs that are very popular and proven to be very helpful to students.
Our district is probably one of, if not the best, districts in the state when it comes to academics & financial efficiency. If we are having to take measures like this, it's going to be very ugly for the districts around us with dwindling enrollment. What an shitty time to have a first grader and a kindergartner. We love our school, but I can't guarantee we're going to stay in Texas much longer at this rate.
