Some SAISD parents dropping their students off for their first day of the school year didn't know about the district's plan to close some schools.

King Academy on Tuesday.Martin Cruz beamed as he dropped his son Issac off Tuesday for his first day of kindergarten at M. L. King Academy, joining thousands of students starting the San Antonio Independent School District school year.
Making both parents and students feel welcome is the main focus for M. L. King Principal Miriam Aguilar, who is starting her second year at the school and her 23rd year in education, because they “are a little bit nervous about being here,” she said. With the Eastside school serving kindergarten through eighth grade, Cruz said he isn’t sure what would happen if the school were to land on the closure list.
At Dorie Miller Elementary, another Eastside school, Aquino took selfies with administrators after bounding from classroom to classroom. That district held community meetings between tense board meetings where district officials described the situation to parents and gathered feedback. Like in SAISD, the schools had declined in enrollment for years. The board eventually closed three schools.
