McKinney ISD Plans School Closures, Boundary Changes to Rebalance Enrollment

McKinney ISD moved a community input meeting to Dec. 4, 2025 as the Educational Facilities Alignment Committee finalizes recommendations to close and repurpose three elementary campuses for the 2026 to 2027 school year. District leaders say the repurposing and new boundary maps aim to rebalance enrollment between fast growing northwest areas and parts of the southwest, and could save about 3 million dollars annually.
