I know a 3 week old article, and according to local media the vote is tonight(10/27/25).

Coppell is very affluent,

Could the closure be home schooling, charter schools, or private religious schools leading to the decline in the public schools.

There is a growing number of school age kids in Texas. But they are in poorer, Hispanic populated districts.

Home/private schooling there.

Even here in ETX, all of our neighbors homeschooling. We are rural. Nearest elementary is 30 minutes away.

Homeschooling is ideal for time management. They all do it online.

IMO, they are no longer getting the expected annual increase in their property tax increases. It’s a good school district, but demographics are changing, more childless couples are moving here. Geezers like me aren’t moving, either. My 3 grandkids live within 30 minutes, and Nana ain’t giving that up! lol

I’m on board with that, though I harbor dreams about relocating to Driftwood in the Hill Country.
