The Mia Hammers just nailed down their first victory of the day at the St. Louis Catholic School 4v4 Soccer Tournament. Inspired by name and play! @MiaHamm https://t.co/GLC3zdYTb9
So far in 2020, we've had a near-war with Iran; a presidential impeachment trial; a string of presidential primaries; and a global pandemic that crashed the stock market and shut down the country and much of the world. Today is March 27.
For some @Peasebobcats, this is the last day at our school. Many mid year transfers due to the #cruzclosures. Imagine starting a year with great expectations about learning, friends and community and having it end 4 months later just because @savepease “was easy” to close.
The Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce steered $10,000 to the Austin school district to help develop communication strategies for the district’s contentious school closure plans, according to district records obtained by the American-Statesman.

Rep. @GinaForAustin says she hasn’t seen this many elected officials united since Trump held a campaign rally in Austin. In some ways her criticism of the plan has been most stinging, because she served on the school board. She knows what it’s like to weigh these tough decisions.
Nearly 200 parents and kids joined community members at Austin City Hall in protest to school closures proposed by @AustinISD. Those schools are Metz, Brooke, Sims and Pease.
"the neighborhoods where the schools are slated to be closed are expected to grow 40 to 50% in the next 30 years. These young professionals will have kids and will need kids. Where will the schools be."

Thanks Ken Zarifis for pointing out that this School Closure plan is billed as creating equity &has been called an inequitable plan by the AISD chief equity officer Dr. Hawley. We can do better. AISD must stop this plan. @KenZarifis1 @shawley03 @savepease
Shea: "if the city is undergoing a massive plan to enhance urban density, it is boggling to understand why you are closing schools in this area."
"Can you see why your data points do not add up."

Friends: This is the future of the oldest public school in the state of Texas - if you care about preservation, and you care about the history of the state of Texas then you need to pay attention.
