San Antonio ISD moves ahead with 15 school closures

Despite outcry from parents and others, the San Antonio Independent School District's trustees on Monday approved the closure of 15 schools and merge three pairs of campuses. The board sealed the decision with a 5-2 vote during a contentious meeting that wrapped up around 11 p.m. Board member Sarah Sorensen introduced separate amendments to remove six schools from the list and to save Lamar and Storm elementary schools from shutting down.
