“Trustees voted unanimously Monday night to approve a full-scale charter partnership for Travis Heights Elementary. The charter will be managed by a board representing teachers, community members, the district’s labor group Education Austin, and Austin Interfaith. But unlike IDEA, school leaders agreed not to move forward on the charter unless it had the support of a majority of its teachers and the neighboring community. The school’s leaders will have greater power over their budget and curriculum.”
