Desoto ISD to Shutdown School and Release Hundreds of Staffers

Desoto, TX – Staffers working for Desoto ISD are waiting to see if they’ll have a job next school year.

Around 300 people will be let go and Northside Elementary School will be temporarily shut down as the district finds itself in a $27 million shortfall.
