The interactive map allows users to see candidates who will appear on the ballots Wednesday and Thursday.
The new members elected Wednesday will help plan the school’s longer day.
Winners of the April 18 election will help the school’s staff determine how to plan the longer day.
Monday’s 2:30 p.m. event will allow the public to learn about those running in the April 18 election.
Current members worry there aren’t enough parents involved to assist with selecting a new principal, fundraising and recruiting new students – all issues the new council faces.
The current LSC coordinator says members elected next week will have the challenge of recruiting new students for the school that currently has just 390 enrolled and a capacity of 1,600.
AustinTalks and others have requested basic information from CPS, but recent changes may mean all the information won’t be made public in time for elections next week.
The settlement, that will affect Austin’s Nash Elementary, was made to prevent court action against CPS.
They gathered outside the building March 16 to discuss requests for CPS to repair large potholes in the parking lot and renovate or demolish the field house.
The new tool was designed to provide information to parents trying to enroll students at selective schools throughout the city.
