We received a few emails from people asking to know specifically which members of the Austin school board voted for and against a proposal to establish an in-district charter school program at Allan Elementary and Eastside Memorial High School.
We neglected to list the specific trustees in our story on the 6-3 vote to contract with South Texas-based IDEA Public Schools, so here’s how the vote panned out:
Voted for contracting with IDEA Public Schools:
- Trustee Mark Williams, District 5, President of School Board
- Trustee Vincent Torres, District 4, Vice President of School Board
- Trustee Lori Moya, District 6, Secretary of School Board
- Trustee Cheryl Bradley, District 1
- Trustee Sam Guzman, District 2
- Trustee Christine Brister, District 3
Voted against contracting with IDEA Public Schools:
- Trustee Robert Schneider, District 7
- Trustee Annette LoVoi, At-Large Position 8
- Trustee Tamala Barksdale, At-Large Position 9
