T.A. Brown rebuilds

Nine months ago, voters approved the largest Austin Independent School District bond in history, and today the district is seeing the first ceremony for a project funded with the money from that bond. T.A. Brown Elementary has been closed since November 2016, when structural problems were found in the building. Today, there will be a site dedication at 9:30 a.m. under the bluetop at the school to kick off the on-the-ground effort to fix the issues with the building. The school’s Principal Veronica Sharp and Webb Primary Director Marizza Marquez will speak, and student representatives will participate in a green learning activity. Construction is set to begin in the fall. All of the students are currently attending school at Barrington Elementary.
