Austin ISD Interim Superintendent Dr. Paul Cruz has been honored by The Austin Project with the 2014 Rostow Community Catalyst Award.

The Austin Project was founded in 1991 by Walt and Elspeth Rostow out of the LBJ School for Public Affairs. The organization was created to act as a catalyst to align community efforts and to scale initiatives that lift up systems and shared community efforts to address the chronic gap in access and equity among Austin’s poor and minority populations.

This year marks the 23rd anniversary of the Rostow award event.
