Carbon Independent School District

Last updated

Carbon Independent School District was a public school district based in the community of Carbon, Texas.

The Texas Education Agency found "several deficiencies" in the school system, including poor performance in the TEAMS, teachers teaching additional classes they were not qualified to teach, enrollment numbers stagnating, and one-third of Carbon students already being enrolled in school elsewhere. [1]

In the spring of 1990, votes to retain all grades or send students to either the Eastland or Gorman school districts failed before the school board reached a compromise to allow students choice to attend either district. Students through the sixth grade attended Carbon schools until the end of the school year. The district began to bus students grades 7 to 12 out to Gorman ISD and Eastland ISD. [1]

The district was annexed to Eastland ISD on July 1, 1990 [2]
