HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM DEEDA: As I write this, I’m sticking labels with my child’s name to his pencil box. If you’re like me, you’re ready to get back into a regular routine but you may also be wondering where did summer go. The heat is certainly not gone! To help you ease into the school year, this issue includes our annual Education Edition. From enrollment at Austin ISD to the bus driver shortage at Dripping Springs ISD, we’ve got you covered. Deeda Lovett, GENERAL MANAGER
FROM DARCY: I’ve been looking forward to our print coverage of the Zilker Vision Plan. There has been so much misinformation about it on social media, and there is something special about being able to hold a piece of paper and say, “this is what actually happened! This is what it actually means!” We had planned more coverage after the vote in late August, but when an update came early, City Hall Reporter Ben Thompson jumped on it. Check it out on Page 14.
