Dear CISD Families,
Tonight, CISD Trustees approved the consolidation of Pinkerton Elementary into the other CISD elementary campuses and asked that the administration explore options related to the movement of the International Baccalaureate program to another elementary campus, as well as options related to the Dual Language Immersion program.
I know this is a hard moment for the Pinkerton community, and I want to acknowledge the weight of this decision. I love each and every one of our schools and the special communities they foster. I know the attachment that families, students, and staff have to their campuses, and I understand the emotions that come with this type of change. This is not easy for any of us, but it is necessary as we continue to balance what is best for our district and the students we serve.
Our commitment to our students and staff remains unwavering. We will take great care to ensure that this transition is as smooth as possible, providing the support and guidance needed during this time. I also want to reassure you that we will continue to be transparent and share information as we move through each phase of this process. We are in this together as we navigate these next steps.
Throughout this process, we have learned that every one of our schools are great. Our entire district is committed to taking care of all of our kids. Our students and staff will have a home no matter what campus they attend or where they work.
We will be sharing more information about the transition according to the timeline that was explained on September 9.
Sincerely,
Dr. Brad Hunt
Superintendent
