- Starting at the beginning of the 2023–2024 school year, W.T. Francisco Elementary and David E. Smith Elementary were combined to become a new David E. Smith Elementary with the mascot and cafeteria name being carried over from W.T. Francisco. A new campus is expected to be built in 2025.
- Beginning at the 2021–2022 school year, Richland Elementary and Major Cheney at South Birdville Elementary (formerly South Birdville Elementary) were combined to form a new school on a newly built campus, Cheney Hills Elementary.
- Glenview Elementary was rebuilt on the same site and renamed Jack C. Binion Elementary to honor a former principal.
