District officials, parents and educators in the Austin area are ramping up demands for more state funding with less than a month left in the 88th Texas legislative session. The increases that lawmakers have proposed do not come close to keeping up with inflation.

Trustees approved a resolution calling on lawmakers to pass gun control legislation to prevent mass shootings. They’re demanding elected officials at all levels work together on solutions to keep campuses and communities safe.
