This summer the Austin school board called for a $1.05 billion bond package for voters’ approval in November. Panelists will discuss whether enough equity was built into the package and how equity is shaping the future of education in Austin.
Panelists include: Ted Gordon, Austin ISD Trustee, District 1; Peggy Vasquez, Save East Austin Schools; Jayme Mathias, Austin ISD Trustee, District 2; Paul Saldana, former Austin ISD Trustee, District 6; Tam Hawkins, President/CEO, Greater Austin Black Chamber of Commerce; and moderator Alberta Phillips of the Austin American-Statesman.
The forum, sponsored by the East Austin Coalition for Quality Education, is free but please RSVP online.
Location: Huston-Tillotson University, 900 Chicon St., Austin, 78702
