During the recent Southlake Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, a critical discussion emerged surrounding the need for accessible facilities to support children in need of specialized care and therapy. A representative emphasized that the children they serve are not violent or unruly but rather require essential support that is currently being provided.

The speaker highlighted the importance of the school district's backing for these services, stating, "This is an important mission and something that is desperately needed for a number of children." They expressed concern over the lack of suitable locations for these services, stressing the urgency of finding a space that is accessible for the children who rely on this care.

The representative also pointed out that they have already secured a lease for a location, which they have been paying for over the past year, indicating a commitment to providing these necessary services. With two years remaining on the lease, the urgency to finalize a suitable facility remains high.

This discussion underscores the ongoing efforts to ensure that vulnerable children in Southlake receive the support they need, highlighting the community's commitment to addressing these critical needs. The commission's response and any subsequent actions will be pivotal in determining the future of these essential services.
