District hears proposal to make Frazier Elementary a School of Choice: Academy of Sports and Wellness
Summary
Administrators proposed converting Frazier Elementary into the Academy of Sports and Wellness for fall 2026 as a new School of Choice; details were presented by Dr. April Chiarelli and Principal Joanne Campbell.
Burleson ISD administrators presented a proposal Jan. 12 to establish the Academy of Sports and Wellness at Frazier, converting Frazier Elementary into a School of Choice beginning fall 2026.
Dr. April Chiarelli, Chief of Elementary Education, and Mrs. Joanne Campbell, Principal of Frazier Elementary, outlined the opportunity for Frazier to become a School of Choice. The minutes state the presentation was made "as the Academy of Sports and Wellness at Frazier," but do not include further program details, enrollment caps, or a timeline for implementation beyond the fall 2026 target.
The board received the update as an information item; no motion or vote to authorize the conversion was recorded in the minutes. Staff will need to return with implementation specifics, including curriculum changes, student selection or transfer procedures, and any budget or staffing impacts, before the board can act.
The minutes identify the presenters and the proposed school name but do not record public comment, community outreach plans, or a timeline for subsequent board review.
