and listed the 19 schools that could be closed.
“In closing the smaller schools, we strip the community of its very identity and sense of security as well as familiarity,” said one parent during Tuesday evening’s board meeting.“Regardless of where Lamar lands on this list, as a board, you should be as uncomfortable as I am with any recommendation,” said the parent of Lamar Elementary students.
Alejandra Lopez, president of the San Antonio Alliance, said she believes the number of schools on the list could be trimmed down.“We’ve been given no indication that closing this many schools is going to lead to better outcomes and a better future for students and families,” she said.“The schools belong to the people, and the people should have a say in what happens to them,” said Lopez.

The school board plans to vote on the final recommendation package on Monday, Nov. 13, following an additional round of community input.Daniela Ibarra joined the KSAT News team in July 2023.
