Allen ISD approves new boundaries, trustee quits during meeting
Allen ISD parents Michael Farley, Chris Arnell, Rebekah Todd and Holly Barnard show signs in support of keeping two elementary schools open that are proposed to close under the district's new boundary alignment. The protest was held at Allen High School Oct. 6 prior to a community input meeting.After dozens of parents spoke out about the district’s proposed rezoning plan, Allen ISD trustees approved the plan Monday night in a 6-1 vote.
The new boundaries will close George J. Anderson Elementary and Rountree elementary schools. Anderson Elementary will be repurposed to an early childhood campus, and Rountree would be used for future noninstructional use. “By all appearances this plan has been designed to spare high income neighborhoods on the west side at the expense of the east side … our students are not treated fairly based on their social economic status, special education status and geographical status,” said Shanna Coulter.“That power comes with an equal amount of responsibility. Everyone is here tonight because the proposal you are about to vote on is not in our children’s best interest,” Arnell said.
