What an incredible event this was! 🌳 #PeaseSpiritNeverDies
We are so grateful to have partnered with @studiodwg_atx to bring The Piece of Pease tree project to life. We germinated hundreds of saplings from this iconic tree/s acrons, and distributed them to nearly 400 students, alumni, parents, teachers, and staff.

I’m getting a flood of msgs from parents asking if they should send their kids to school next wk. There’s a lot to say, & it’s an indiv decision for every kid. TL;DR: there will only be 2 kinds of school in a wk or two: the planned closed ones & the unplanned closed ones. @hcpss

Intro: I am on the AISD Long Range Planning Facilities committee & an EAC sub-committee. It seems important to document the process in real time.
Below is Gov. Ann Richards signing Public Edu bill into Law under the Pease ES cupcake tree. History matters. These places matter.

@Matias_AISD a little over a year ago you wanted to shutdown Palm, now you’re celebrating them. I’m glad they didn’t have to go through what other children and their families went through @savepease @BrookeLions sims elementary @metzelementary

I hope voters take notice. More work and change is needed, parents and communities deserve better. Those trustees who looked the other way need to go, and no - they should not hand pick their replacement on the board.

This is completely infuriating, we fought so hard bc we questioned the budget benefit. By voicing opposition & concern @savepease closure timeline was changed-moved up in retaliation. I hope this never happens to another community by @AustinISD. What policies will change?

@MamaBea79358492 guarantees were made last time statesman.com/article/201712… I’m afraid history will repeat itself with unkept promises. And they just got a billion dollars just a few years ago!!! And still closed schools because of budget deficits.

We are extremely disappointed and object in the strongest terms to the superintendent’s decision to reopen schools next week.

Forcing teachers to teach remotely from the school building, with no students in their classroom, is abuse.

I had a lot of hope when we got a new AISD superintendent. Unfortunately, I am disappointed...again. Insisting teachers with underlying conditions return to work...heartless! @AustinISDsupt We deserve better!

Reminder for all - FABPAC served as a rubber stamp to close schools while giving other schools $90M parking garages w/ tennis courts up top. Also - this was after a bond election where #austinvoters were told it would help all schools. Where was the FABPAC voice for equity then? – at Texas, USA
Reminder: the Facility & Bond Advisory Committee that wrote the ‘17 bond and which @LeticiaCab3 chaired catalyzed the ‘19 school closures @NoelitaLugo fought against. So the choice is clear. Vote @Noelita4AISD and end the racist cycle of school closures in @AustinISD

Voted.
Vote for the candidate who stood against the closing and consolidation of Title I and Majority Minority schools in this district. Like me.

Bad public policy = holding the purse strings to force kids in school contrary to public health official recommendations. It’s one week off to slow the spread during a pandemic, that shouldn’t create a funding penalty. #localcontrol – at Texas, USA
Outrageous. Just learned that AISD will lose 50% of funding for this week because (on advice from @MeaEscott ) it moved to all remote education for the week after Thanksgiving in order to have a fighting chance of opening schools in the next 2 wks.
I’m filing a bill

@DanRather I’d like to ask that @spotteddogtx receive a copy. Tommie Graham served our country in two ways. She’s a military veteran and a veteran teacher to countless @Peasebobcats for years!
