The Board voted to approve the Annual Academic and Facilities Recommendation proposing an in-district charter partnership with IDEA Public Schools on Dec. 19. For more information about the Dec. 19 Board Meeting, please click here.
The new program is a partnership between the Austin school district and IDEA Public Schools to offer a college preparatory curriculum that prepares students for success in college and citizenship by developing academic, social and leadership skills needed to succeed in a four-year college. It is still an AISD school.
Starting next school year, families who live in the Martin Middle School attendance zone, including Allan Elementary School, will have a new school option at the Allan campus. In the 2012-13 school year, the new program at Allan will offer pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, and grades 1, 2 and 6. Over the next few years, the program will expand to serve students in grades pre-K through 12 at the current Allan Elementary Campus and at Eastside Memorial High School at the Johnston Campus. Students who graduate from the program will receive a diploma from AISD.
Below please find important information for families about the new partnership as well as background on the approved recommendation. More information forthcoming.
