The South San Antonio ISD board considered closing four campuses that reopened almost four years ago. But in the end, voted to keep them open.
Superintendent Henry Yzaguirr recommended again closing the campuses, due to a lack of enrollment and financial struggles.
The discussion of the possible closures came as a shock to many parents at Athens Elementary. The schools in question were Athens Elementary, Kindred Elementary School, Kazen Middle school and West Campus High School.“Where are we going to send our kids? The last time they did this they packed in a lot of kids to one school and it made it hard for us,” Anguiano said.
“It’s something scary and we want to make sure we know more about it, because I would hope that it wouldn’t happen because it’s so close and convenient to where we’re at,” said Athens Elementary parent Kimberly Aguinaga said. TEA monitor Abe Saavedra says the district has used $8 million out of $40 million of federal COVID-19 funds to help with previously acquired financial issues. He said most districts used the funds to make teacher salaries more competitive, improve programs, and educate students.
