The tournament aims to empower young women, and each year it’s driven by a different theme or message that focuses on issues affecting students’ lives.
Previous topics have included eating disorder awareness, domestic violence, substance abuse and honoring women in the military.
The Budget Stabilization Task Force continued its discussion of potential recommendations and reviewed a preliminary survey at the Nov. 7 meeting.

The task force will present and overview of its process at the Nov. 12 Board of Trustees work session.

Austin ISD Friends:
One year ago, voters approved AISD's largest bond: a $1 billion investment to embark on the first phase of a long-term plan to modernize schools and address overcrowding and critical deficiencies.
Since then, our AISD bond team and school communities have launched an aggressive schedule to begin designing and constructing the innovative learning spaces worthy of our students' talents as they prepare for an ever-changing global marketplace.
The Budget Stabilization Task Force is a key component of the district’s strategy to address its growing budget deficit.
The ad hoc advisory body will explore a broad range of actions the district could take to balance the budget in the next two to three years.
