From our Newsletter Editor Jennifer Ellen Cook:
ln an effort to gain more accurate demographic information for the neighborhood, please fill out this short survey if you live within the Barton Hills School District Boundary. Hopefully we can debunk the argument that we do not have young families living in the district http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/bhe_survey
Keep Barton Hills Elementary open
Hi neighbors,
As you may know, AISD is in a budget crunch right now and is looking for ways to cut costs. The AISD Facilities Master Plan Task Force met on December 14th and discussed ways to save money. Many of the ideas discussed include CLOSING smaller neighborhood schools – including our beloved Barton Hills Elementary School.
We cannot let this happen! WE NEED YOUR HELP! Please come to either or both of the following community meetings that will discuss the future of AISD Facilities.
