Austin ISD welcomed students, staff and community members Aug. 29 to the site dedication for the new T.A. Brown Elementary School.

Students and families shared their excitement for the new site and students potted plants that will be located at the new school in the future.

As part of the Austin ISD Strategic Reinvention Program, T.A. Brown has been identified to be a “green living laboratory,” with hands-on learning opportunities to enhance STEM education and problem-solving learning.

T.A. Brown is one of the first schools to be built as part of the 2017 Bond program and is scheduled for fast-track completion.

The school is set to open in January 2020. Follow T.A. Brown on Twitter, and keep up with bond events and news online.
