Overview
- The board voted unanimously Tuesday to shut the 76-year-old campus at the end of the 2025–26 school year.
- SAISD committed $28.6 million from the 2020 bond to reinvest at the Carvajal site, with discussions beginning on a potential new academy.
- District officials said $47.5 million in unspent Rhodes Middle School bond funds could be redirected to create a K–8 academy.
- Carvajal enrolls 314 students and has received three consecutive F grades, placing the campus on a path that could trigger state intervention if failures continue.
- Students will be reassigned to Barkley-Ruiz for monolingual instruction or DeZavala for bilingual services, with choice enrollment extended to Feb. 16 and transition support promised.
