With an eye toward supporting at-risk students and families, Lanier High School officially opened its state-of-the-art Family Resource Center on Tuesday.
AISD Superintendent Paul Cruz, Trustee Ann Teich and other community leaders were on hand for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. The Family Resource Center is located on the rear side of Lanier, and is the result of a partnership between AISD and Austin Voices for Education and Youth.
Austin ISD visual arts faculty is holding its annual art show, themed “Rhythm of Our City,” April 15 through May 6.
What: The exhibition will show more than 20 new artworks including paintings, drawings, mixed media and photography created by the talented teachers of AISD. The art will also be available for purchase.
The bell schedule for all Austin ISD students will change this fall because of a new state law measuring the school day in minutes instead of days.
To comply with this new law, AISD must extend the elementary school day.
Because of the size of our district and our transportation system, this change may affect schedules for our middle school and high school students. This may also affect how we make up bad weather days.
