A larger than usual crowd turned out for a monthly SAISD school board meeting at Agnes Cotton Elementary, Monday, February 26th.

Agnes Cotton Elementary Schoool parents voiced their opposition to a proposal by the City of San Antonio to build a "roundabout" in front of the school on Blanco Road. Parent after parent walked to the microphone and addressed the board during the Citizens to be Heard segment.

Before the meeting concluded, board members agreed with the crowd and promised to address the City Council and lobby that the Council relocate the turnabout.
