SAISD Superintendent Jaime Aquino told parents and students that the so-called 'rightsizing' plan will create a more equitable district.
According to SAISD's proposal, Caroll, Knox, Nelson and Tynan early childhood care centers would close next year. Twelve elementary schools — including Baskin, Collins Garden, Douglass, Forbes, Gates, Huppertz, Lamar, Ogden, Pershing, Riverside Park, and Storm — also would close in that same time frame.
The elementary schools slated for closure had enrollment numbers under 350, according to Aquino. Even so, they received the same funding as campuses with double the student population, creating an inequitable distribution of district funds, he explained. SAISD board members have publicly denied that charter schools or lackluster academic achievement have taken a toll on enrollment.
Garcia said he understands parents' concerns but added"this type of growth and shrinking" of districts happens all the time.
