Can y'all help us get more attention on this? We have >1,000 signatures and counting. Just had 3 IT Focus Groups and the board is not taking us seriously. If RRISD changes their screen policy like LAUSD did, then more will follow. You can sign as a supporter if you live in Austin.

Is it just me, or does AISD have an unusual number of school holidays/days off? My kid is at Doss and they have 10/9 and 10/12 off for conferences. I don’t think my kid’s teachers are even offering conferences on either day. Is this number of student holidays normal?? Is it the same at charters and private schools?
Hi parents! I wanted to share a fun activity we did with my little one at UT 🤘 They need a lot more participants, so I wanted to help them out by sharing with this community. They’re specifically looking for toddlers who might have a speech delay.
We participated in a toddler language-learning study at the UT ChiLDS Lab, and it was such a sweet experience! The visit was just one time, and my toddler got to play some fun language games. They also had the option to wear a soft, stretchy “brain cap” that helps the researchers measure brain activity while kids play — it was safe and honestly really cute. 🧠
They have weekend availability, free parking, and they offer up to $80 as a thank-you for participating.
If you’re looking for something different to do with your toddler and want to support child development research, I definitely recommend checking it out!
