Protecting and honoring the beautiful murals and artwork at Brooke Elementary School, many of which were created by east Austin artists, is a priority for the district. The artwork is an expression of the community, and the district is committed to working closely with community members to identify a location for the pieces to be displayed for future generations to enjoy.
The Task Force is composed of 10 community volunteers who are committed to meeting 4-5 times to see through the completion of their charge. Membership includes a combination of the following representatives:
While the Task Force works through its charge, the artwork will be safely stored at Brooke Elementary School.
The Task Force may be asked to develop contingency plans until the future use of the Brooke Elementary site is determined. For example, the first preference may be to keep some of the art pieces at the site if the repurposing solution allows, while moving the artwork to a new location might be proposed as a “plan B.” For more information on the district’s school repurposing planning, please visit www.austinisd.org/repurposing.
In November 2019, the Austin ISD Board of Trustees approved several School Changes proposals to bring better learning environments and academic opportunities to students, staff and community. As part of that plan, Brooke Elementary closed at the end of the 2019-20 school year. Students who were zoned to Brooke who live north of Lady Bird Lake are assigned to the modernized Govalle and those who live south of Lady Bird Lake are assigned to Linder Elementary School. Brooke transfer students were provided a continuation transfer to Govalle if requested.
Austin ISD Liberal Arts and Science Academy student Sam Christian has been named a top 40 finalist in the 80th Regeneron Science Talent Search, earning him $25,000 in the nation’s oldest and most prestigious science and math competition for high school seniors.
Dear Austin ISD Community,
In order to be proactive and offer additional testing resources to our students and staff, Austin ISD will be offering mass COVID-19 testing once per week while we are in Stage 5 in Austin/Travis County.
We are also excited to announce that rapid tests (for mass testing events only) are now available to ALL Austin ISD students and staff, which includes those who learn and work in-person and remotely.
January Dates and Times
Austin ISD provides a variety of different learning opportunities for families throughout the district. One way to take advantage of various programs is to apply for a school transfer. AISD will open its annual school transfer window on Tuesday, Jan. 26, inviting families to submit applications for the 2021-22 school year.
