\u201cEveryone who wanted a job from one of the three schools has a job at the same or greater where they were,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
Every school year, NEISD loses about 400 teachers on average to promotions, retirement or resignations, and consolidating seemed to have eased the hiring process for getting those positions filled.<\/p>\n
Relocation of equipment and furniture from the closed schools to \u201creceiver\u201d campuses cost the district roughly $88,000, but it was a one-time expense, Lackorn said.<\/p>\n
When NEISD\u2019s board voted to approve consolidation, the district was facing a $39 million deficit. In June, the district projected to have an $18 million shortfall<\/a> for the 2025-26 school year.<\/p>\n Part of the consolidation process included moving the North East Alternative Center (NEAC) to 4311 Clear Spring, formerly Clear Spring Elementary, and the North East Transition Services (NETS) department to 17150 Jones-Maltsberger, formerly Driscoll Middle School.<\/p>\n The Driscoll building also serves as a bus stop for middle school students enrolled in the district\u2019s magnet school programs. During the same Monday meeting, the board approved a lease agreement for the Alamo Area Council of Governments (AACOG) to use part of the Driscoll property.<\/p>\n AACOG officials declined to comment on how it will be using the property because it\u2019s still in negotiations.<\/p>\n Wilshire Elementary now houses part of the district\u2019s police force, one sergeant and 11 police officers, along with the security and safety department.<\/p>\n The properties that used to house NAEC and NETS, 103 W. Rampart and 8438 Ahern Drive respectively, are now for sale. NEISD \u201chas no future plans of need for the properties,\u201d officials said.<\/p>\n Charter schools located wholly or partially within the district\u2019s boundaries will be given priority over other entities when submitting purchasing bids, according to a September resolution<\/a> approved by the board.<\/p>\n Adjacent to each other, the 103 W. Rampart property is a 4.581-acre tract of \u201creal property and improvements\u201d valued at $6.4 million by the Bexar Central Appraisal District, and the 8438 Ahern Drive is about 0.204 acres valued at more than $7.4 million.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-11-at-11.22.00-AM.png\")
