I’m finding it difficult 2 move on;I just can’t believe that if t/person u asked tells u r perpetuating racism that you don’t stop it;& the silence from most of Austin is heartbreaking;so @SaveSchools_ATX @savepease @shawley03 @PTAnderson70 @Geronimo4AISD @amberelenz @RevDrJayme

How convenient that AECOM has their former employees now with AISD, in positions to directly & indirectly influence contracting & facilities decisions.

It was asked weeks ago, why would contractors not be upset with AECOM having majority of AISD contracts. They’re global. They have subcontractors. Depending on size of project, 89 subcontractors. You scratch their back & they scratch yours.

This dude loves the word “bold”.
And what does he mean “diversify”?
🤨
A bold and visionary CodeNext can mitigate price increases and diversify our community: bizjournals.com/austin/news/…

With a deadline looming our families are entering the Christmas season with a dark cloud of uncertainty and defeat overhead. We feel beat down; children are crying seeing lists of friends’ names separated under columns of new school names. We can’t explain why. They are not ok.
How r the children?Who is suspended? Who is reading on grade level? How many chldrn have we destabilized? Who is seeking attention/real connection? Which students r affirmed? Who has hope? How r our chldrn n @AustinISD this morning? How are our teachers? #consciouseducation

And the long-lasting effects #cruzclosures will have is staggering. Ripple effect of dismantling communities will be felt for generations. Such a delicate balance, blown apart w/ a single short sighted & racist vote by #AISDtrustees Traitors to our children & our trust! Shameful

@AISDSupt @Geronimo4AISD u treat us as if we don't know what we need so u r making the decisions 4 us #realitycheck #aisd we know we want our community, we know we need 2 prioritize the underserved, we know m getting a shiny new building won't make our children's education better

MULTIPLE EMPLOYEES formerly employed by AECOM are running @austinisd. A global corporation has infiltrated our school district and is driving #CruzClosures. It doesn’t get any more obvious than this why they’ve pushed so damn hard for our land with no regard to history.

How can we ever move forward from enraged without transparency?
How do we explain to the kids that this is okay when it’s not?
How do we teach our children to be anti-racist when the majority of their school trustees aren’t?
Our kids are not okay. None of this is okay. 😔

Mon December 16th at 5:30. AISD trustees voted for a plan that was called 21st century racism demand @shawley03 equity audit, demand more for ALL of Austin. AISD does not have a budget crisis-they have a crisis of imagination. We need a growth plan not scarcity #SaveAustinSchools

This process is cruel (& racist!) @AustinISD has not given us enough time. Families are stressed, children are traumatized, no one is sleeping well. #cruzclosures having detrimental ripple effects on our health & our communities #cruzthegrinch
Do you remember Star Bellied Sneetches by Dr.Seuss? 🌟🌟🌟 I was looking at our amazing @BrookeLions #AISDGameChangers performers on stage last night feeling so incredibly sad that I am learning who lives S or N of river. I never looked at our kids that way & it hurts to find out

Too bad AISd doesn’t value families – at Austin, TX
We had so many @BrookeLions join us tonight that we had to set up extra tables in the hallway. This is what commUnity & family involvement looks like. @AustinISD @AustinPta @aisdparents @AISDSupt #AISDGameChangers#Tamalada #EastAustin

This just keeps getting press....it’s not going away @AISDSupt ! Do you want your name to be forever tied to perpetuating racism?! b/c as it stands- you are complicit in #21stCenturyRacism It’s not too late to walk this back & regain respect in @austintexasgov
It’s pretty telling when the leading local story is so appalling that it headlines above news of IMPEACHING AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT. @AISDSupt I wonder if you’re still proud of yourself or finally feeling as appalled as the rest of us.

Last night @Peasebobcats & @BrookeLions should have been all about the joy of being together & watching our children sing, but instead it was overshadowed by #cruzclosures & uncertainty for our kids. This is so stressful & ruining the holiday! @AISDSupt
