If your child goes to Dellview, Montgomery or Oak Grove elementary, mark Mon., Nov. 16. North East ISD trustees are set to vote that day on closing the three campuses after the 2026-2027 school year. KSAT puts the district's deficit at $19 million, while WOAI reports a $20 million shortfall.

- Oak Grove students: the two-mile radius standard decides busing
- Possible reuses: discounted child care, adult education, event center
The district estimates the consolidations would save more than $4 million. At Monday's board meeting, parents pleaded with trustees to find other ways to cut costs. Superintendent Anthony Jarett says the district is still weighing its options.
