Mayor Tim O'Hare proposed making a new municipal Farmers Branch school district with the portions currently in CFBISD and DISD. In 2011, about 66% of voters decided against the referendum. At the time, the city did not have the 8,000 children required under Texas law as a requirement for forming a new district, so [[KTVT]] stated, "Even if the proposal had passed, there would have been little, if anything, the city could have done to move forward".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/dfw/news/farmers-branch-voters-say-no-to-separate-isd/ |title=Farmers Branch Voters Say No To Separate ISD |date=May 16, 2011 |publisher=CBS DFW |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140505180007/http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2011/05/16/farmers-branch-voters-say-no-to-separate-isd/ |archive-date=2014-05-05 }} ()</ref>
