MISD serves Mansfield and portions of the cities of Grand Prairie, Arlington, and Burleson.
A small portion of Cedar Hill, Fort Worth, Kennedale, and Rendon also lie within the district (only in nearby areas).
Among the facilities are six high schools, the Ben Barber Innovation Academy, a competition-level stadium, a natatorium complex, and a center for the performing arts.
[citation needed] On June 23, 2020, Mansfield ISD School Board voted to keep their anti-discrimination policies, without mandating inclusive provisions for LGBTQ students and staff.
The district also agreed to remove the eight-month leave from her record, and offer training on LGBTQ issues to human resources and counseling staff.
