AISD Alumni Spotlight: Brenda Salazar
Creating functional chairs out of cardboard for an engineering class is one of Brenda Salazar’s most vivid memories as a student at the Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders.
For weeks, Salazar and her classmates attempted to design and build cardboard chairs that could comfortably support a grown adult.
It was a project that required an abundance of trial and error, and though not every group succeeded, Salazar’s did.
AISD Board Welcomes Two New Trustees
The Austin ISD Board of Trustees last night held swearing-in ceremonies for two new board members and two returning members, and thanked two outgoing trustees for their service.
New trustees LaTisha Anderson and Kristin Ashy took their seats on the dais for the first time last night after being sworn in during the board's regular meeting.
Anderson defeated incumbent trustee Ted Gordon for the District 1 seat. Ashy will represent District 4 after trustee Julie Cowan did not seek re-election.
