The Brief Seven Fort Bend ISD elementary schools will not reopen for the 2026-27 school year. When Fort Bend ISD students return to class Aug. 11, seven elementary schools will not reopen, leaving families with a new question: What will happen to the former campuses? However, Fort Bend ISD has not publicly provided campus-by-campus plans for the properties or disclosed what it will cost to maintain and secure buildings that are no longer operating as elementary schools. Following the closure decision, her family used Fort Bend ISD’s open-enrollment process to select Walker Station Elementary, about 15 minutes from their home. FOX 26 will update this story when Fort Bend ISD responds to the additional questions.
