Northwest ISD

After eliminating around 100 positions and restructuring multiple student programs, Northwest ISD remains nearly $1 million short of closing its $16 million deficit for the 2025-26 school year.

The program cuts, confirmed in a letter to staff and families Feb. 11, ignited reactions from students and parents who credit these programs with their academic success.

In doing so, 101 teaching positions across the district will be eliminated by the 2025-26 school year — though district officials do not expect to lay off any existing teachers. The district, which calls itself the fastest-growing in North Texas, serves 34,000 students in Tarrant, Denton and Wise counties.

The region’s fastest growing district will consider increasing class sizes amid rapid enrollment growth and a nearly $16M deficit.
