As the school year ends, some large districts are facing budget cuts and consolidation."I'm most concerned about safety, and I would certainly be remiss if I didn't say that," said Dallas ISD Superintendent Dr. Stephanie ElizaldeA shooting on the campus of Wilmer-Hutchins High School brought to light lapses in security that Dr. Elizalde says must be reckoned with.
Like other urban districts, enrollment is down, but the superintendent is excited that preschool enrollment is up."This year we absolutely met our 3-year-old enrollment, our 4-year-old pre-K enrollment, and we are actually expanding both our 3 and 4-year-old programs," Elizalde said.A big positive for the district has been resource centers with social services for certain neighborhoods. "I know it's overused, Shaun, but I'm going to use it anyway: game changers.
