Overview
- Maplewood Elementary, the only A‑rated campus on AISD’s closure list, is proposed to merge into Campbell under the current draft as parents organize a ‘Save Maplewood’ campaign and met with Superintendent Matias Segura in a Wednesday Q&A.
- Segura said the updated plan will clarify whether siblings can stay together, how transfer students can remain with classmates, and what transportation will be provided to new Spanish dual‑language sites at Pickle, Wooten, Odom and Sanchez.
- District leaders cite a decade of enrollment decline, rising costs and a nearly $20 million deficit, along with state accountability pressures that could lead to appointment of a board of managers if key campuses do not improve.
- The draft would close Oak Springs Elementary and repurpose Govalle as a non‑zoned Montessori, with most Govalle students reassigned to Ortega or Zavala unless they apply to the new program.
- High‑school boundaries would shift, including moving many Northeast ECHS students north of 183 and east of I‑35 to LBJ ECHS and reassigning McCallum students east of I‑35 to Northeast ECHS and those south of MLK to Eastside ECHS, with the board discussing the plan this week and a vote expected Nov. 20.
