BROWNSVILLE, Texas ( ValleyCentral ) — The Brownsville Independent School District Board of Trustees will discuss the consolidation of three of its elementary schools tonight.

On Monday night, the district held its last public meeting where it gave parents the opportunity to speak on the matter and become informed on the consolidation plan.

The district plans on consolidating Cromack Elementary, Garza Elementary and Del Castillo Elementary. Students from those schools would be moved to other nearby campuses.

If the schools become consolidated, BISD says it is prepared to use the savings to create new programs for students.

Tonight’s meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. at the BISD Administration Building, located at 1900 East Price Road.

Why don’t they talk about consolidation of upper administration positions and send the left overs back to the classroom.
