Summary
Trustees noted that Carter Junior High will close after 67 years and students will move to a new building to be named Rodriguez Junior High; the announcement was presented as part of opening remarks and not recorded as a formal action.
ARLINGTON ISD trustees opened their March 13 meeting with an announcement that Carter Junior High will close after 67 years and that the school community will move to a new building to be named Rodriguez Junior High.
The district conveyed the change during opening remarks; the transcript presents the item as an announcement rather than a formal board action. The meeting included a musical performance by Carter students and a mention of Carter band director Chad Strother, but the board did not record a formal vote or an implementation timeline for the move and renaming in the portion of the transcript provided.
The transcript described the move as part of the district's facilities planning; it did not list the new building's opening date, the address, funding source beyond the general bond context referenced elsewhere in the meeting, or transition logistics for students and staff.
Because the item was presented as an announcement, district staff and the board did not provide dates for student relocation, official renaming procedures, or information about ceremonies or legacy preservation for the existing Carter campus during the recorded remarks.
