Lake Travis ISD is grateful to its many parent volunteers who contribute their time, talent, and treasure to support the district. To open the meeting, our school board proudly recognized four individuals for their remarkable efforts and long-standing dedication to our students and staff: Shelley McCannon, Heather Swanson, Courtney Thomas and Susan Whitenack. Although having volunteered in individual capacities for many years, collectively—by the end of the current school year, these ladies will have prepared made-from-scratch food, decorated rooms and spaces, and served staff at more than 100 events at Hudson Bend Middle School and Lake Travis High School combined, totaling more than 23,000 meals. During COVID, these ladies cooked holiday meals for staff at both schools to take home to their respective families; it was a total of 685 meals that were prepared. These ladies continue to serve for the fellowship and friendships they have made with other parent volunteers as well as with the staff at each of the schools their own children attended years ago. On behalf of our school board and the entire LT family, we applaud and thank these outstanding parent volunteers!

Last month, our school board adopted an order authorizing the issuance of Lake Travis Independent School District Unlimited Tax School Building Bonds in one or more series by delegated sale. This provides us with the opportunity to efficiently manage our November 8, 2022 bond authorization by breaking down our capacity into multiple issuances. The amount will not exceed $315 million of fixed rate, unlimited tax school building bonds. The bond proceeds will be used to pay for the construction of two elementary schools, design of high school #2, district safety and security upgrades, transportation vehicles, technology upgrades, and replacement projects. Additional details regarding the sale of these bonds is available on our official advertisement which is posted on the LTISD website.
