Laurie Parker, communications relations administrator for Carrollton‑Farmers Branch Independent School District, told the Carrollton City Council on July 8 that recent campus consolidations have been completed, instruction was not interrupted, and the district is now focused on finishing bond projects and completing student registration for the coming school year.

Parker said every student and staff member affected by consolidation had been welcomed into their new schools and praised the facilities, operations and Leadership and Learning teams for the moves. She and Isaiah Young, the incoming principal at Blaylock Middle School, described bond work at Blaylock (renovations to instructional, special education, athletics and fine arts facilities) as a multi‑year program expected to continue through 2027; Parker and Young said some plumbing issues had been addressed and work was proceeding.

Parker noted other bond activity including completion of HVAC replacement at Turner High School and upcoming demolition work at several older buildings (Huey and Sheffield were named) that have been vacant. She cautioned that demolition and other timelines can shift because of permit processes and weather.

The district announced a back‑to‑school event at Ranch View High School, 9 a.m.–noon, with registration required; Parker said the first 3,000 registrants will receive backpacks. The event will include vaccinations, low‑cost physicals, haircuts and registration assistance, and the district will offer help with school‑lunch applications and other enrollment services. Parker said enrollment and registration remain open and families may get assistance from student services at Carrollton Elementary.

Parker also noted positive community outreach items, including a campus celebration honoring Freneau and publicity around a safety officer’s children’s book. City council members thanked the district and reminded the public that council liaisons attend district meetings.

There was no council action required; the presentation was for information and to maintain city–district coordination ahead of the new school year.
