What’s planned for Plano’s 4 closing school campuses? City, district consider future

Citing declining enrollment, Plano Independent School District trustees voted unanimously last summer to close Armstrong Middle, Carpenter Middle, Davis Elementary and Forman Elementary schools after the 2024-2025 school year. Officials estimated closing the campuses would save the district around $5 million in annual operating costs.
Now Plano, a city almost fully built out after decades of rapid growth, will decide the future of land the district is vacating.

There’s a horrible petition going around Nextdoor to make the Davis site part of the adjacent park. I’m all for that but what makes this petition bad is they want pickleball courts and a splash pad area. Who (besides the small handful of people who signed it) wants expensive, high maintenance amenities? Not to mention there is already a splash pad 1/2 mile away at the Aquatic center so no need for another one.

More space for fire stations, and maybe police training centers

If you want to promote your article on this subreddit, locking it behind a paywall is really dorky thing to do.
