In AISD's At Large race, @LeticiaCab3 won by 15 points, but the runoff with @Noelita4AISD could be closer — because of alignment between Lugo and @_jdbreckenridge .✨data thread✨

Two years ago, Austin ISD employed 51 school psychologists; since then, 48 have resigned. Even with new hires, the exodus of overworked staff has had devastating effects on the thousand students still waiting for evaluations.

Hahahahaha. @aratisingh just asked if AISD checks if callers who say they're AISD parents actually are. In other words: who are these people calling in? (Most only gave first names.)

Happy Election Day, y'all. I'll be covering Austin school board elections for @AustinChronicle today. Something to keep an eye on: with no incumbents and 3+ candidates in 3 races, runoffs are very likely.

Some personal news🎉 Yesterday was my last production night as @ColumbiaSpec ’s managing editor. The 17-year-old with no journalism experience who applied four years ago did pretty good for herself.

I want to use this thread to highlight a few of the stories from this past year that I'm proudest of. First off, ACC nursing students fought through a pandemic to get their degree. (COVID data are worse now than they were then.)

Amazing resource. Some highlights: -tripling funding for Title 1 schools -SEL -community schools -no fed funding for-profit charters -if COVID spikes, local schools "should not be compelled to reopen against the judgment of local experts"

Foster says he knows it's a shock (lol) but he believes the district is heading in the right direction. "Band-aids are being pulled off that previous administrations never touched." Points to SPED reform as example, "details that make you cry" on SPED from Supt.
