DTX-FHA: Impact 10/13/2025

Lewisville ISD officials have announced how students at Mill Street Elementary School will be reassigned to other campuses, based on a turnaround plan for the school.

The gist: A turnaround plan for a school is required when it receives an unacceptable accountability rating, a D or F, for multiple years. The document outlines ways to improve student performance using the state’s effective school framework.

Diving deeper: Nonbilingual students will be transferred to the LISD STEM Academy at Valley Ridge Elementary. The building can accommodate up to 946 students and has an enrollment of 615, per district documents.

Bilingual students will be transferred to one of three other campuses in LISD, according to the plan, including:

• Lakeland Elementary School, which has an enrollment of 637 students out of a capacity of 1,034 
• Lewisville Elementary School, which has an enrollment of 482 students out of a capacity of 858
• Prairie Trail Elementary School, which has an enrollment of 646 students out of a capacity of 968

A new Japanese fusion restaurant, Silver Sea Sushi, plans to open in Flower Mound.

What's on the menu: The menu, which has yet to be finalized, is expected to include a selection of authentic Japanese food and drink along with fusion items, a restaurant representative said in an email.

One more thing: Silver Sea Sushi is owned by the same chef, Pang Bamrungsin, who operates Bleu Bear Sushi in Bedford, a restaurant representative said.

The gist: Denton County officials have allocated roughly $295 million of the $650 million Transportation Road Improvement Plan, or TRIP-22, bond since 2023, according to county documents.

The bond will contribute to roughly 120 projects across the county. Check out five TRIP-22 projects currently under construction and five more that will start by the end of 2026.

Projects in progress: Lebanon Road from Scotty’s Lake Lane to Bridge Lane. TRIP-22 contributed $2 million to the $4 million total budget. Work includes:

• Replace damaged road panels
• Strengthen the soil foundation under the roadway

• Concrete and driveway replacements
• Repaving asphalt
• Replacing sanitary and sewer water lines

Texas’ power grid is unlikely to have issues this December, according to an Oct. 3 report by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas.

The details: During the winter, demand for electricity spikes when people get up in the morning and return home in the evening. This December, the tightest period is expected to be from 7-8 a.m. each day, when little to no solar power is being produced. ERCOT found that there will be a 1.81% chance of a grid emergency during that time.

“Under typical grid conditions, the deterministic scenario indicates that there should be sufficient generating capacity available," the report reads.

The background: Texas' grid withstood three cold snaps early this year. ERCOT last asked residents to voluntarily reduce their energy use in January 2024.

Legislative approach: State lawmakers approved legislation this spring that is designed to make the grid more reliable by tightening regulations on large electric consumers, such as data centers. In extreme grid conditions, those customers will be required to switch to backup power to reduce strain on the grid.
