Are You Choosing The Best? #ChooseGarlandISD With school choice a contested issue across the United States, Garland ISD wants to ensure that every family living in the district makes an informed decision. GISD not only offers true choice by allowing families to attend any school in the district—whether it’s down the street or across town—but it also boasts 17 selective magnet campuses, access to six different world language options, a free associate degree, over 200 career-training programs, transportation, comprehensive special education services, a 100 percent highly qualified teaching staff, and more. No other educational entity in the cities of Garland, Rowlett and Sachse can claim this expansive list of options. However, GISD has seen a steady decline in enrollment for the past five years. This comes at a time when the Texas Legislature continues to decrease funding for public schools and competition from popular charter and private schools continues to increase. Looking ahead to the future, the district knew it must become the area’s No. 1 choice, which meant reaching beyond just sharing good news to begin selling the district itself. During the 2017-18 school year, Garland ISD Communications launched its #ChooseGarlandISD campaign with a goal of informing students, staff, parents, businesses and the community about everything the district offers and what sets it apart from other educational options.
