LIVE OAK, Texas – The Judson Independent School District board is expected to vote Monday on which middle school to close ahead of the next school year to help reduce a $37 million deficit.

School board leaders are deciding whether to close Judson Middle School or Kitty Hawk Middle School, as part of a plan to close four schools across Judson ISD, which was approved last Monday.

The three remaining schools that the district may close are expected to come from the elementary level.
According to Board President Monica Ryan, these schools could include:
- Franz Leadership Academy
