Wills Point ISD board declares March 5 a disaster after heavy rains flooded campuses
Summary
Trustees unanimously declared March 5, 2026 a disaster after 8½ inches of rain flooded portions of all five campuses and the central administration building, citing major operational failures and halted school activities.
At its May 11 meeting the Wills Point ISD Board of Trustees voted to declare March 5, 2026 a district-wide disaster and emergency after an event the motion describes as producing "8 ½ inches of rain" that flooded portions of all five campuses and the Central Administration Building. Trustee Debbie Deen moved the declaration and Dr. Ben Curtis seconded; the motion carried with all present in favor.
The motion states the flooding caused major operational failures and halted school activities; the board record does not provide damage estimates or list specific recovery actions during the open record. The declaration in board minutes stands as the district's formal recognition of the event; the minutes do not specify subsequent funding requests or steps for state or federal aid in the meeting text.
