SAN ANTONIO — Thousands of students in San Antonio ISD are set to return to the classroom on Monday morning. The district says campuses will reopen after widespread heating failures last week.
Later Monday morning, a press conference being held at SAISD is also expected to be held to address the issues. According to a press release, a number of school officials will be part of that press conference.
That includes Interim Chief of Operations Jenny Arredondo, who took over after two key administrators resigned last week, the Deputy Superintendent and the previous Chief of Operations.
Superintendent Jaime Aquino said he accepted both of their resignations after a week of severe breakdowns in their heating systems.
This caused the closure of nearly all SAISD campuses last week during the frigid cold temperatures.
Aquino says the failures were a combination of human error and faulty equipment, as well as infrastructure.
However, he is planning to make to good on his promise of opening up the district’s 90-plus campuses on Monday.
He said as many as 50 technicians worked though the weekend in preparation to reopen.
We spotted some trucks from another district working at Cottonwood Elementary on Sunday. In addition to fixing the problem, Aquino also said he plans to publish a full report of the breakdown.
As for Monday, school officials plan to take questions on the preparations to open campuses.
We will keep you updated on what we learn.
