Stop the closure. Pease is the heart of the neighborhood.
KEEP PEASE OPEN!! My kids went there and it was the best experience they ever had. Austin is losing its soul.
Exemplary school rating and yet they want to shut it down. Makes no sense.
This school is a piece of history. You cant just sell off our heritage to some charter company because it fits a spreadsheet.
Total incompetence from the district as usual. Fix the budget without destroying the community hubs.
