Austin, T.X. – On Tuesday, March 21st, at 10 AM, U.S. Representative Lloyd Doggett (D-Austin), senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee, will join Austin ISD educational leaders at St. Elmo Elementary School to unveil details of two brand-new projects, the funding for which Rep. Doggett secured, to create outdoor learning spaces and to launch a college and career preparation pilot.

Outside this elementary school, Austin ISD leaders and other educators will detail the two funding amounts and the projects they’ve designed for Austin ISD students, which were fulfilled thanks to Rep.
