When Austin ISD hatched their plan to turn Allan Elementary and Eastside Memorial High over to IDEA Public Schools, PRIDE of the Eastside formed to speak for the community the district ignored. The district writes them off as professional protesters, but it was PRIDE standing in the rain to speak against closing Allan. It was PRIDE members tending students at the summer fete when the district shuttered the campus. And it’s PRIDE that’s never given up the fight for their kids and their neighborhood.
