EDUCATION AUSTIN AND FRIENDS PACK
 JUNE 23 SCHOOL BOARD MEETING ON BUDGET
 
Education Austin members and allies filled the school board auditorium on June 23 to insist that the trustees give AISD voters a chance to approve decent pay raises and a health insurance supplement for teachers and other school employees. The dozens who attended, 23 of whom spoke before the board, also called for a living wage for all classified employees, including cafeteria monitors, and for the board to adopt more than a one-shot fix for AISD’s ailing school libraries. The June 23 meeting was the last trustees meeting until the board reconvenes in August. (more)
