Killeen ISD Town Halls 2026 Optimization 2.0

Join Us for an Optimization 2.0 Town Hall

With more than 5,000 fewer students enrolled in Killeen ISD than just a few years ago, the district is considering changes that could affect the future of our schools.


Families, employees and community members are invited to an upcoming Optimization 2.0 Community Town Hall to learn WHY changes are being considered, WHAT is being proposed and HOW decisions will be made. Each meeting will cover all proposed scenarios and provide opportunities to ask questions and share feedback before final decisions are made.


  • Nov. 9 I Shoemaker High School | 6–8 p.m.
  • Nov. 12 | Killeen High School | 6–8 p.m.
  • Nov. 19 | Ellison High School | 6–8 p.m.


All three meetings will be livestreamed, with opportunities for online participants to respond to live polls.


Your Questions Matter. Your Voice Matters.

We strongly encourage you to review the proposed scenarios and submit your questions in advance. Your questions will help district leaders prepare meaningful answers and focus the town halls on the topics that matter most to our community.


Family & Staff Survey Opens Nov. 10

Families and employees will have an opportunity to share feedback through a districtwide survey open Nov. 10–23. The survey provides a more formal opportunity to weigh in on the proposed scenarios, and we encourage everyone to participate, even if you attend a town hall.
