Judson Independent School District (ISD) is facing a significant budget shortfall, leading the district's board to consider staff reductions and campus closures. The district has been dealing with a multi-million-dollar deficit for years, prompting evaluations of all programs, including potential cuts or restructuring of the dual language, gifted and talented, and library services. No final decisions have been made yet, but a board meeting is scheduled for December 18, 2025, where public comments will be accepted. Amid these financial challenges, three families with children in Wortham Oaks Elementary School's Spanish Immersion Program are protesting the possible elimination of the program, which is highly valued by the community. These families, including Courtney Walker, Sheri Thomas, and Paul Garza, have expressed their disappointment and concern, citing the program's importance in their decision to live in the district and their willingness to pay tuition to preserve it. The families have indicated that if the Spanish Immersion Program is cut, they will consider relocating and are exploring options such as fundraising or paying tuition to maintain the program. They emphasize the cultural and educational significance of the program, which serves families who speak Spanish and value bilingual education. District officials have stated that no final decisions have been made regarding program cuts, but the potential impact has stirred community concern and activism. The district's financial struggles also threaten other programs and services, raising questions about the future of the district's educational offerings amid ongoing fiscal challenges.
