On Aug. 30, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced the adoption of an $85 billion 10-year statewide road con- struction plan known as the Uni ed Transportation Program. The UTP is the master docu- ment for the Texas Department of Transportation. According to Abbott’s o ce, the UTP funds will coincide with an additional $32 billion over 10 years for routine maintenance and project development, including more than 7,000 projects and a total investment of $117 billion statewide. One of the key projects outlined in the plan include $4.5 billion for the I-35 Capital Express Central project to expand the highway in Austin. Locally, funding will be used to improve the Trautwein Road and Hwy. 290 intersection in Dripping Springs.

Pedestrian crossings The Austin Transportation Department installed several pedestrian crossing islands in South Austin this summer. The new islands are at or near Wick- ersham Lane and Sheringham Drive, Cromwell Circle and Oltorf Street. The islands allow pedestrians to cross shorter stretches of road at a time, increases visibility of pedestrians and encourages drivers to slow down. Timeline: May-June Funding source : 2016 Mobility Bond Cost: estimated $41,000

In addition to highway projects, the UTP outlines investments in public transportation, maritime, aviation, rail and freight. In a press release, Abbott said the UTP will help with population and economic growth in Texas. “As more people move to Texas and businesses grow across the state, we are working together to make sure Texans’ transportation safety and mobility are secured and businesses can ourish for generations to come,” Abbott said.
The projects that will be part of the UTP will be funded through legisla- tive and voter-approved initiatives that allocate portions of oil and gas taxes, sales taxes, and other money to the state highway fund. The Texas Transportation Commis- sion, the governing board for TxDOT, is required to approve a new 10-year plan each year. Texas Transportation Commission Chair J. Bruce Bugg Jr. said the UTP remains one of the top priorities of TxDOT.

EDUCATION BRIEFS
News from Dripping Springs & Austin ISDs & Austin Community College
HIGHLIGHTS AUSTIN ISD The Texas Education Agency released the 2021-22 accountability ratings on Aug. 15 for school districts and individual schools. Austin ISD received an overall B rating, scoring 88 out of 100 points. AISD said a record number of campuses—40—received A ratings including 20 which had scored lower in previous years. Dripping Springs ISD received an A rating and 93 out of 100 points. No campus in Dripping Springs ISD received lower than a B rating. The TEA did not give ratings in 2020 or 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. AUSTIN ISD On Aug. 18, district sta proposed changing the 2022-23 and 2023-24 Austin ISD school year calendars to make Election Day a holiday for students. If approved by the AISD board of trustees, Nov. 8, 2022, and Nov. 7, 2023, would also become sta development days. The move would make campuses safer as many of the schools are used as polling sites, which allows for public access to the campuses, according to Jacob Reach, AISD chief of governmental relations and board services. AUSTIN ISD Disciplinary data presented Sept. 1 to the board of trustees shows the district lags behind in reducing the disproportionate discipline of Black students but is making progress with special education students. Black students in Austin ISD, 6.5% of the district’s student population, accounted for 17.5% of all disciplinary actions in the district during the 2021- 22 school year. Students receiving special education services, 13.4% of the district’s student population, accounted for 29.7%. Austin ISD Meets Oct. 13 and 27 at 6 p.m. 4000 S.

DSISD asks for $481.13M bond package
WHAT’S IN THE BOND PACKAGE?
The bond package is split into three propositions. Each proposition could be independently passed or rejected. Proposition A $199.28 million • Construction of sixth elementary school • Expansion of Sycamore Springs Middle School • Designs for a future elementary and middle school • Other renovations to existing schools • Campus security upgrades • New buses $481.13M Total

elementary school and middle school, and renovations to existing schools. Campus security upgrades and new buses would also be covered. Proposition B, $275.35 million, is exclusively for building a second high school in the district. Proposition C, $6.5 million, would be applied to technology upgrades, including student devices and interactive panels. The rst proposal not selected by the board was also valued at $481.13 million but split into two propositions. Instead of having its own proposition, the $275.35 million for a new high school was rolled into Proposition A. The other proposal not selected by the board was valued at $215.8 million and excluded construction funding for a new high school. Instead, $10 million was allocated for a design phase.
DRIPPING SPRINGS ISD Voters will decide whether to approve a $481.13 million Dripping Springs ISD bond package in November’s election. In a 6-1 vote during an Aug. 18 meeting, the Dripping Springs ISD board of trustees authorized the bond election. The lone “no” vote was cast by Trustee Tricia Quintero. The board selected the second of three bond package proposals provided by DSISD’s administration. No tax rate increase will be required to meet repayment obligations. The selected package is separated into three propositions. Proposition A, $199.28 million, will include the construction of the district’s sixth elementary school, an expansion of Sycamore Springs Middle School, designs for a future
