Ingrid Taylor for AISD Trustee, District 5 Ingrid Taylor Experience and commitment to Austin schools Austin schools are at a critical juncture.
Test scores are down, cost overruns are up, and public trust is shaken.
I am running for AISD Board of Trustees to put an end to these problems and help restore confidence in our neighborhood schools. I am concerned about the quality of education offered to our children. Austin students average lower scores on competency tests than other students around the state, while the district continues to spend less on classroom instruction than the state average. We can no longer overlook the link between the two. Our community attracts a highly educated work force from around the world because of our quality of life and dynamic, innovative business environment.
