Harlandale ISD will close four elementary schools after the school board voted to pass the measure 4-3.
The board voted on Option B, which is the repurposing of Columbia Heights, Mororill, Rayburn and Carroll Bell elementary schools.Board member Ricardo Moreno expressed the benefit this move could bring.
“The potential merging of resources will allow us to invest in people and programs that can enhance the opportunities we can provide to our students. In turn, that investment will trickle down where they can excel and eventually tribute,” he said. It’s unclear how the schools will be repurposed for now, as no details were discussed during the meeting.Harlandale ISD isn’t the only school district having these discussions about school closures. Last week, the
board of trustees voted to close three campuses in its district -- Kazen Middle School, Athens Elementary and Kindred Elementary.
