Lewisville ISD superintendent proposes moving programs out of surplus buildings

Lewisville ISD officials are considering relocating programs hosted at the Student Success Center and Learning Center, following district officials declaring those properties are surplus in August.

The details: At a Dec. 1 work session, LISD Superintendent Lori Rapp proposed moving several programs to new facilities.

The proposal includes:

  • Moving the Virtual Learning Academy from the Lewisville Learning Center to available space in Downing Middle School. Downing currently has 607 enrolled students and is projected to have 599 students by 2031, per Rapp’s proposal. The school has a classroom capacity of 865 students.
  • Relocating the Disciplinary Alternative Education Program, or DAEP, from the Student Success Center and accelerated credit programs from the Lewisville Learning Center to different campuses spread throughout the district, split between east and west.

Also of note: Other changes Rapp proposed include moving the School Age Parent Program and Teaching for Emotional, Academic and Motivational Success from LISD's Student Success Center to Highland Village Elementary, which was one of five campuses closed ahead of the 2025-26 school year.
