Declining enrollment, segregation dominate AISD board meeting - Austin Monitor: The Austin Independent School Board’s unanimous decision to spend $25 million modernizing Sanchez Elementary School was welcomed by a substantial contingent of those who packed the board’s chambers Monday night, but it hardly assuaged long-term concerns from east side activists…
More important detail on the decision this week by the AISD board to (we hope) seriously address the inequities between east and west Austin schools. This requires continued pressure on the board by the Save E Austin Schools Coalition spearheaded by Bertha Marie Delgado and Peggy Vasquez & the E Austin Manifesto Group spearheaded by Paul Saldaña and Trustee Dr. Ted Gordon.
