I hope that this interruption that's being claimed about signatures for petition was addressed immediately by staff members. I would only hope that the same had been done for the parents who initially thought they were slated for Ellison when it was noted that a group of parents interrupted several classrooms during instruction to "recruit" LSE teachers and tried to convince them in transferring to Ellison. It's unfortunate that these teachers were intentionally being addressed and misfed information to sway them in leaving to what it sounding like a school for "elitists". Poor teachers who have to deal with this nonsense. As for NISD board, hats off to a decision that emphasizes community and equality for all our children. A negative connotation would have definitely been attached to the public school system that you have urged our city to advocate and promote for in contrast to charter schools. It would have been a travesty if the public had witnessed the act if seeing children who are being addressed as "apartment kids" being bussed and passing two elementary schools to attend a third school. Thank you for thinking logically and accounting for the most important voices in this matter-the children!
