There are nearly 700 open seats on 267 local school councils across the city; five schools in Austin are still looking for members to serve. See the list AustinTalks has compiled of members currently serving on LSCs in Austin.
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.
State Rep. La Shawn Ford says in the interest of justice, fairness and equity, Frederick Douglass Academy High School can and should be transformed.
Applicants have until 3 p.m. Friday, March 14 to turn in materials that will get them on the April 7 and 8 ballot.
Local School Council members and others question Ald. Emma Mitts’ support.
Rep. La Shawn Ford tells members that if they unite, education on the West Side can improve.

Just as last week’s LSC results are released, CPS announced supplemental elections will be held May 18 at schools where not enough candidates ran to fill the council.
Elections for all CPS elementary schools will be held today from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. and the same time tomorrow at all high schools.
