While school closures were not explicitly mentioned, Edgewood Superintendent Eduardo Hernández cited the discussions that occurred at South San Antonio and Harlandale ISDs, which voted to shutter campuses before the 2023-2024 school year.
Edgewood ISD trustees voted Tuesday to convene a task force that will learn about district challenges, explore solutions and ultimately provide recommendations to the board.The Edgewood Independent School District is the latest in San Antonio to rethink its future, citing expiring grant funds and declining enrollment projections over the next 10 years.
While school closures were not explicitly mentioned, Superintendent Eduardo Hernández cited the discussions that occurred at South San Antonio and Harlandale Independent School Districts, both of which voted last school year to shutter campuses before the 2023-24 school year. According to data presented Tuesday, the district lost a net 212 students since last year, with 239 fewer middle school students and 108 fewer high school students.
The board is also facing the expiration of COVID-19 relief funds in the next year that were provided by the federal government to address learning loss and other impacts. There also have been no increases to school funding at the state level in years, something Hernández said the district would not be counting on anytime soon.
