SAN ANTONIO – Three North East ISD elementary schools are being recommended for closure as the district faces shrinking enrollment and a $20 million budget gap. At the October 19 board meeting, district Chief Financial Officer Susie Lackorn gave a report to the Board of Trustees, sharing the Efficiency Committee's findings about possible campus consolidations and changes that could take effect at the start of the 2027-2028 school year.

Boerne ISD Weighs School Zone Shakeup as Middle Schools Near Capacity

Boerne ISD families could see their kids' school assignments shift as soon as the 2027-2028 school year, with a district committee weighing changes that would shuffle students between Boerne Middle School North, Voss Middle School and Fabra Elementary. The proposal under discussion would move students in the Esperanza neighborhood out of the Boerne Middle School North zone and into the Voss Middle School zone, while placing all Fabra Elementary students into the Boerne Middle School North zone rather than splitting them between two middle schools.

San Antonio Districts Grade GPAs Differently, New Texas Law Could Force a Fix

San Antonio's school districts don't agree on how to calculate a student's grade point average, and the gap matters: Northside ISD scores AP courses on an eight-point scale while docking dual-credit and honors classes to five points, North East ISD uses a 1.15 multiplier for AP versus 1.08 for dual credit, and Alamo Heights ISD runs its own separate formula entirely. A new Texas rule aims to erase those differences. Separately, Alamo Heights ISD's grading controversy stemmed from inconsistencies in grading documents and communication about a district policy change.
