https://www.edline.net/pages/Galveston_ISD/...d_on_the_Street Right now GISD's configuration on Galveston Island for elementary and middle school includes: * 5 PK-5 schools * 2 PK-6 schools (San Jacinto, a formerly operated K-6, closed recently) * 2 6-8 schools * 1 7-8 school Three middle schools for a small, small island with an increasingly wealthy population? GISD apparently does not believe that makes a lot of sense. Well, GISD decided to close Alamo ES after 2008 and convert it to a multipurpose center. As for the remaining elementary schools, all would include Kindergarten through 4th grade. Weis Middle School would become the zoned 5-6 campus. Central Middle School would become the zoned 7-8 campus. Austin Middle School (the 7-8) would become a magnet 5-8 campus. As a note: * Residents on the Bolivar Peninsula in GISD are zoned to Crenshaw Elementary and Middle School, a PK-8 school * ALL GISD residents are zoned to Ball High School

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metrop...an/4804120.html The LULAC is trying to stop Galveston's school closures by using a desegregation order as evidence that the GISD did not contact the justice department for permission to close the schools. I believe that the schools should be let go; gentrification is inevitable and should be allowed to proceed.
