In The News: Farmers Branch Takes Next Step Towards What Hasn't Happened In Texas In Over 30 Years

EdConnections Posted by Dan S. Martin
When I first posted on the story "C-FB District Break Up?" I thought that was probably the end of the story.  But wait...

"Farmers Branch wants its own school district, and on Tuesday night, the City Council took the first step toward splitting off from the Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD and the Dallas ISD....

Creating a new school district in Farmers Branch remains a long way off — if it even happens at all.

On Tuesday, the Council chose to let the voters decide what to do."

"....The city is considering seceding from the Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD and creating a new Farmers Branch ISD.

Mayor Tim O'Hare and others are most recently concerned about the CFBISD's grading policy; it's too lax and too generous, they say."

"...Citizens will go to the polls in May to decide if they want to vote for or against a new district in Farmers Branch. Even if the measure passes at the ballot box, the Council will decide what to do next, and how expensive and challenging that might be."
