Confronting shrinking enrollment and a projected $25 million budget shortfall, the Judson Independent School District is considering a plan that could result in Bexar County’s 26th school closure since 2023.⁠ ⁠ Trustees are slated to vote next month on a series of proposals that include closing Coronado Village Elementary School and redrawing attendance lines to increase the efficiency of district facilities.⁠ ⁠ It’s a familiar discussion for local school officials and families. Four other San Antonio school districts have consolidated campuses in the last two years to cope with fewer students and reduced funding.⁠ ⁠ Unlike those school systems, however, Judson is discussing shuttering a school while construction crews work to erect two new campuses.⁠ https://bit.ly/4fXDNgr
