Spring Branch ISD closing two elementary schools, cancelling charter school partnership
More than 2,100 students will be impacted by the shuttering of two campuses and charter school programs at three other schools in the West Houston district, which is cutting costs in anticipation of a $35 million budget shortfall for the 2024-25 school year. Spring Branch ISD leaders say Texas officials are to blame for not providing more funding for public schools.
