Colleyville Mayor Bobby Lindamood expressed support to the Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District as it faces the possibility of school closures.<\/p>\n

\u201cOften, such responsibility requires difficult decisions,\u201d Lindamood said in a statement<\/strong><\/a> at the Oct. 21 City Council meeting. \u201cWe must accept, and with reluctance, there may be school closings in Colleyville.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Oct. 22 meeting<\/strong><\/a> of the Grapevine-Colleyville ISD\u2019s Education Master Planning Committee reviewed proposals to close as many as three campuses, with a savings of $1.5 million to $3 million.<\/p>\n

The Grapevine-Colleyville ISD has reported<\/strong><\/a> that, as of the 2025-26 school year, two elementary schools are now operating below 60% of their functional capacity and four are operating below 75%.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s just be honest,\u201d Lindamood said. \u201cWe\u2019re not having a whole lot of kids like we used to back in the day, and houses are so expensive.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The average taxable home value<\/strong><\/a> in GCISD is $485,386.<\/p>\n

Lindamood also advocated for the return of Robin Hood<\/strong><\/a> funds sent to the state by GCISD. The school district sent $31.3 million<\/strong><\/a> in 2023-24.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe join our brethren cities across the district in seeking the return of the $30-plus million annually back to the district from the state Robin Hood\u201d recapture, Lindamood said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The GCISD Education Master Planning Committee met<\/strong><\/a> again Oct. 29.<\/p>\n
