23 speakers urge board to reconsider Port O'Connor Elementary closure during public comment
Summary
During public comment at the July 20 CCISD meeting, 23 individuals addressed the board about the proposed closure of Port O'Connor Elementary and the related grade consolidations, the minutes say.
The Calhoun County ISD minutes record that the board heard from 23 individuals during public comment about the proposed closure of Port O'Connor Elementary and the consolidation of seventh and eighth graders from Seadrift School to Travis Middle School.
"The Board heard from 23 individuals regarding the proposed Port O'Connor Elementary School closure and consolidation of grades 7th and 8th from Seadrift School to Travis Middle School." The minutes do not list the names or verbatim remarks of those who spoke; they record only the count and the subject of comments. The public-comment segment preceded formal action on a resolution to close the school.
Because the minutes summarize rather than transcribe speakers' statements, specific concerns raised by individuals (for example about transportation, class size, or extracurricular activities) are not itemized in the document. The board proceeded to consider and vote on a transition plan after public comment.
