Fort Worth ISD is planning to consolidate 18 schools to save $10 million over the next five years. The goal is to put more money into classrooms—like adding bilingual programs, summer school, and extra support for teachers and students. While some families have concerns, many believe this move will help students by focusing resources where they’re needed most. The school board votes on the plan on May 20.

Fort Worth ISD is investing $22.7 million to improve reading and math instruction across the district. The plan includes new teaching roles that focus on small-group support and classroom modeling. School finance experts say it’s a bold, strategic move that prioritizes student achievement and could help avoid a potential state takeover.
