Judson ISD Cuts Staff, Reassigns Students

0:00Jutson Independent School District just slashed 7% of its staff to tackle a projected $35 million budget shortfall. On Tuesday, the board voted 6 to 1 to cut 536 positions for next school year, aiming to get finances back on track. This move builds on earlier decisions to shut down four campuses, including three elementary schools and Jutson Middle School, which already wiped out 284 jobs. Those closures hit places like Park Village, Blended Learning Academy, France Leadership Academy, and Rolling Meadows Elementary. Families and students are feeling the squeeze as kids get reassigned to new schools, shaking up routines across the district. Adding to the turmoil, the board fired super-intended Milton Fields back in early February, leaving leadership in flux. During that same meeting, trustees approved fresh campus boundaries for the 2026-27 school year to handle the student shuffle. From those closed sites, keep watching as they finalize the budget in the coming months because these changes could reshape education in San Antonio for years to come.
