AUSTIN, Texas– Eanes Independent School District (ISD) is facing a $6.3 million budget deficit and has announced plans to implement several permanent changes starting in the upcoming school year to address this financial challenge.

The most notable decision is the closure of Valley View Elementary School, which is expected to help the district reduce costs and stabilize its financial situation.

The closure has raised concerns among parents and community members, who worry about the impact on students and staff.

Eanes ISD has assured families that students will be reassigned to other schools within the district, and efforts will be made to find new positions for affected teachers and staff.

Superintendent of Eanes ISD emphasized that these decisions, though difficult, are necessary to maintain the district’s financial health while continuing to provide quality education.

The district’s financial difficulties are attributed to a combination of reduced state funding and rising operational costs.

Along with the closure of Valley View Elementary, Eanes ISD is exploring other measures, such as restructuring administrative roles and optimizing resources.

The district is actively engaging with stakeholders, including parents and teachers, to gather input on potential solutions.

The closure was carefully considered, and the district is committed to maintaining transparency and communication throughout the process.

Regular updates and information sessions will be held to ensure the community remains informed as the district navigates this challenging period.
