CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas —Grant Middle School is welcoming hundreds of new students this school year after a $27.5 million deficit forced Corpus Christi Independent School District to close seven campuses. CCISD closed four elementary schools — Fannin, Kostoryz, Travis and Sanders — and three middle schools: Browne, Haas and Martin. Garza said the largest influx of new students is coming from Tom Browne Middle School. Raquel Ramos, a student support specialist who came from Martin Middle School, said leaving her former students behind was emotional. Ramos said her goals remain unchanged: support students, keep them in school and set them up for success.
