AISD Consolidation

On Friday, AISD released the draft proposal for school consolidation. This plan affects almost every AISD school in some way. For Campbell, the proposed changes include welcoming the current Maplewood students into our school, as Maplewood is proposed to be closed.

This draft plan is not yet finalized, and there are many steps left in the process. The plan will be discussed at the AISD information session on October 9th. There will be AISD-led community open houses soon as well; we’ll share details about these as they’re available.

We invite you to join us at the PTA meeting this Wednesday, October 8th to discuss the changes AISD is facing and how we can support our scholars, dragon leaders, and neighbors throughout this process. Stay dragon strong!
