Celina ISD officials are recommending the district open its newest middle school as a fifth and sixth grade campus while also closing its Early Childhood School and adding its programs to elementary campuses.

The gist: District staff presented five scenarios for pre-K, elementary and middle school grade level configurations in November. Since then, the district has held community meetings and received feedback from CISD parents, staff and other community stakeholders.

The plan is to close the district's Early Childhood School and move pre-K programs to the district's elementary campuses. Willard Middle School will open with fifth and sixth grade students, while Moore Middle School will hold grades 7-8.

Here is the real estate data for Prosper and Celina from November 2024 to November 2025.

The Texas power grid is expected to hold up this winter, officials with the Electric Reliability Council of Texas said Dec. 9. This is due in part to “tremendous supply growth on the ERCOT grid,” ERCOT CEO Pablo Vegas said, amid an influx of data centers coming to the state.

The overview: Since last winter, over 11,000 megawatts of generating capacity have been added to the ERCOT grid, Vegas said. That growth, which largely comes from battery storage and solar facilities, could be used to power about 2.8 million homes during periods of peak electric demand.

Zooming in: Under most weather conditions, there is a less than 2% chance of a grid emergency through February, ERCOT found.

However, Texas could be in trouble in the unlikely event that a repeat of Winter Storm Uri hits large parts of the state this winter, although ERCOT noted that the probability of such a severe storm happening again was "well under one percent." The February 2021 freeze devastated an unprepared power grid, resulting in nearly 250 deaths.
