Wichita Falls ISD board approves expansion of FutureSchools partnership to two elementary campuses
Summary
Trustees unanimously approved the district’s benefits application and contract authorization to expand its FutureSchools partnership to include Booker T. Washington and Southern Mills elementary schools, and staff said the students will remain Wichita Falls ISD students; the submission deadline required action that night.
The Wichita Falls Independent School District Board of Trustees voted to approve the submission of a benefits application and to authorize entering into a contract expanding the district’s FutureSchools partnership to include Booker T. Washington Elementary and Southern Mills Elementary.
Staff said the expansion follows the district’s prior partnership model and that students in those campuses will remain Wichita Falls ISD students and retain enrollment rights and access to district services. A staff presenter said the application had to be filed by the 15th, which prompted trustees to take action that evening. After a short Q&A — confirming town halls and staff/parent outreach had occurred and that extracurricular community partnerships will continue under the model — the board voted in favor; the meeting record shows the motion passed unanimously (recorded as 6‑0).
Staff described the FutureSchools model as preserving district enrollment while changing instructional delivery in the partnership schools and said additional town halls are planned in the coming semester.
