Community Dialogue about Austin ISD School Facilities
Posted by elainepozos in News & Announcements, WNA Events on May 10th, 2010
If you have ever wondered why there is not a high school to relieve the overcrowding at both Austin High School and Bowie High School, here’s your chance to provide public input to AISD.
In the last AISD Bond package, money was approved to purchase land for a future High School. I’ve heard that it could be in northern Hays County, it could be far southeast, or it could even be a magnet school. The AISD Board is now asking for input on what type of secondary education facility the “public” desires. Now is your chance to tell them! If you don’t participate, the School Board will do what they want, because they sense you just don’t care. Please mark your calendar. Travis High is just west of IH-35 on Oltorf.
Your insights and opinions will help shape the future of public education
in Austin. Please attend, listen, and speak up. Bring your neighbors and
friends.
Discuss issues that directly impact our public school facilities with educators, parents, students, civic and business leaders, and other engaged community members. The Power of Your Voice Will Help Guide the Emerging Facility Master Plan for Austin Schools.
Thursday, May 20, 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
Travis High School, Cafeteria
1211 E. Oltorf St.
Refreshments and child care provided.

Branches over 3 inches in diameter and up to 15 feet long are collected during specially-scheduled large brush collections. Large brush must be at the curb in front of your house by 6:30 a.m. on the first day of the scheduled collection week(s).
Large brush should be stacked, unbound, in one row along the curb with the cut ends facing the street. The row should be no more than 15 feet long and four feet high. Anything beyond this amount will not be collected unless you have made prior arrangements to pay additional fees.
Large brush will not be collected if it’s inaccessible. Place your large brush about five feet from your garbage cart and other potential obstacles such as mail boxes, fences, walls, water meters, telephone connection boxes and parked cars. Avoid placing large brush under low-hanging tree limbs or power lines.
Solid Waste Services cannot collect the following items during large brush collections:
- Bamboo, cactus, vines, rose bushes or vegetation with thorns. (These can be included with your weekly yard trimmings collection. Cactus, rose bushes and thorny branches should be wrapped in cardboard or several layers of newspaper before being placed in a reusable container or paper yard waste bag on your yard trimmings collection day.)
- Yard trimmings (grass, leaves and small branches)
- Garbage
- Bulky items
Patton PTA Fundraiser Schlotzsky’s Night
Posted by elainepozos in Patton Elementary, WNA Events on March 11th, 2010
On March 30 from 4-10 p.m. Schlotzsky’s on Brodie Lane will hold a Patton Night. This optional fundraiser will allow the Patton PTA to receive 20% of the donated receipts.
When you go to Schlotzsky’s there will be balloons and a sign “Patton Night” with a gold wrapped box. If you “drive-thru” just tell them to put your receipt in the Patton Box. Schlotzky’s will even print a duplicate receipt if you need to keep a copy for yourself.
Again the hours are 4-10PM, but Patton parents have reported going in for lunch and the box was already out on the counter. Mark your calendars now for the April 27 and May 25 Patton Nights. Thank you for your participation!
