Officials results from last month’s two-day election won’t be available until June, CPS officials say.
Parents, teachers and school staff will be able to vote Wednesday at elementary schools and Thursday at high schools. In Austin, there will still be vacancies on 12 of the 17 LCSs, which will be filled before July 1 when all members begin serving.
Visitation will be held June 9 for James Deanes, who died last week. His funeral will be Tuesday.
There will be voting at 15 Austin schools from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. April 7 and 8.
They say CPS left the community out of the process and the decision is not in students’ best interest.
Parents and community members interested in being part of a public school’s decision-making body have just until March 8 to submit an application.
