Alexander Elementary families are heading into a tense week after Duncanville ISD notified them yesterday that the campus is being considered for closure. The district has set two community meetings to walk through the proposal: one on Wednesday at Alexander Elementary and another on Thursday at Daniel Elementary. Officials say the sessions will focus on academic programming and attendance-zone changes that would affect both Daniel and Brandenburg campuses.
Meeting details from the district
According to a Facebook post from Duncanville ISD, Alexander Elementary is formally proposed for closure, and Alexander families are invited to a "Building the Future, Raising Champions" meeting tomorrow. Superintendent Dr. T. Lamar Goree is expected to attend that session. The same post lists a Daniel Elementary meeting for Thursday at 5:30 p.m. in the Daniel campus cafeteria and notes that attendance zones for Daniel and Brandenburg would be updated under the proposal.
Where this fits in the district plan
The Alexander proposal is part of Phase 2 of the district's "Building the Future, Raising Champions" campaign, which focuses on repurposing select campuses, renovations and attendance-boundary adjustments ahead of the 2026-27 school year, according to Duncanville ISD. District materials say the moves are intended to balance enrollment, strengthen feeder patterns and align campuses with specialized programs funded through Bond 2023.
How families can follow the process
The rezoning and repurposing plans have already gone before the school board, where staff presented executive summaries and draft boundaries, according to Duncanville ISD. Families who cannot make the in-person meetings can review draft maps and submit questions through the district's Building the Future site or by contacting their campus administration.
School leaders say community feedback will help shape final attendance boundaries and any decisions on campus repurposing. Officials plan to outline next steps after the meetings and as maps are finalized in the run-up to the 2026-27 school year.
