Austin ISD Board of Trustees is accepting application to fill the vacant District 7 seat.
The passing of Trustee Robert Schneider in July created an open seat on the board. Trustees were facing an Aug. 11 deadline to notify Travis County if they planned to hold a special election.
The board voted Aug. 25 on the process for appointing a new District 7 trustee.
Labor Day weekend, this is a student/staff holiday.
The Early College High School Program—previously available only at LBJ and Reagan high schools—expanded to Travis High School this year.
The program is a partnership between Austin ISD and Austin Community College and allows students to earn up to 60 hours of college credit for free, with the opportunity to earn an associate degree.
“This program not only saves students and their families money when they earn college credit for free, but it will also allow these students to complete their bachelor's degree early,” said Travis High School Principal Ty Davidson.
Austin ISD has partnered with the African-American Quality of Life Task Force/City of Austin Health and Human Services Department to host the 10th annual Take a Loved One for Check-up Day on Sept. 19.

Please join us from 11 a.m.–3 p.m. at the Delco Activity Center, 4601 Pecan Brook Drive, and bring your loved ones!
Austin ISD is working to expand our advanced academics in our South Austin schools, and we want to hear from you.
We've created a survey to give you the opportunity to tell us what you know about current academic options and what you think we need.
The survey gives you the chance to let us know how interested your students would be in programs such as business leadership, green technology and advanced placement.

Join Austin ISD to celebrate the reopening of House Park with a ribbon-cutting, followed by the 14th Annual Taco Shack Bowl.
After flooding damaged House Park during the Memorial Day weekend, AISD cleaned the grounds and replaced the turf as well as a transformer.
House Park reopens for the Taco Shack Bowl, a football game between high school rivals, the Anderson Trojans and McCallum Knights. Superintendent Paul Cruz will call the coin flip.
The winner will be awarded the Taco Shack Bowl trophy during a presentation on the field following the game.
