Keller ISD is considering a controversial plan to split into two separate districts.
The proposal, revealed during a closed session on Dec. 19, has sparked significant community concern and debate. The Keller ISD Board of Trustees will discuss the feasibility of the split at a special executive meeting on Thursday.
The potential split would move thousands of students into a newly created district, raising questions about property taxes, school funding, and student feeder patterns. While some board members believe the split could address overcrowding and resource allocation issues, others argue that the decision lacks transparency and community input.
Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker and several Keller ISD trustees have expressed opposition to the plan, emphasizing the need for careful consideration and public involvement. Parents and community members have taken to social media to voice their concerns and call for more transparency in the decision-making process.
The outcome of the Thursday meeting will determine whether the district moves forward with the split, but it is clear that the proposal has already divided opinions within the community.
