San Antonio ISD proposes 19 campus closures over next two school years

The San Antonio Independent School District unveiled plans to close 19 schools between now and 2025 during a lengthy and sometimes tense meeting on Monday evening. Parents and community activists raised concerns during the meeting that the campus closures will harm both parents and children, especially those in economically disadvantaged and marginalized groups. However, second-year SAISD Superintendent Jaime Aquino tried to assure parents the district's so-called "rightsizing" plan will create a more equitable district.
