HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM DEEDA: Growing up, the uno cial start to summer was marked by the rst dip in the pool. In Austin, we have hundreds of city pools. Navigating their schedules and deciding which ones best t your family’s needs is the goal of our guide (Pages 18-19). As always, lifeguards continue to be in high demand. If you have a friend or family member interested in helping their community in this role, we also included a link to apply. Deeda Lovett, GENERAL MANAGER
FROM DARCY: After the state announced a planned conservatorship in Austin ISD and Department of Public Safety troopers began patrolling Austin streets, we heard a lot of concern from community members. In this issue, we provide context around the state's intervention in Austin ISD as part of our cover story and on Page 21 we look deeper into the DPS partnership. Darcy Sprague, EDITOR
