  1. Well let's fix recapture. Even a small portion of that staying with Austin ISD fixes budget shortfalls. If 1,000 kids opt for private school and take the $10K with then that's just a tiny portion of what recapture does to our school system.
  2. Opposite? I thought the voucher system did have some mechanism for prioritizing disabled and low income families? I'm not totally in favor of vouchers and am more focused on Austin continuing an open transfer system so I have more choices... but as a resident of East Austin where the school choices are already rough and only going to get worse as they consolidate ( awful ones joining the mediocre ones or vice versa) I would like some good options. My preferences is not private but I have plenty of neighbors that do not send their kids to public and instead go for private or charter. Furthermore as our 60% of our school tax dollars dollar go outside of Austin I can see that vouchers could be attractive when your options that are paid for from tax dollars are not great.
  3. McCallum looks like it will be in better shape post redrawing so should have more room. My kids are still elementary so a long way to go so hopefully I will have several options when it comes time.
  4. Continuing the sins of the past by redrawing the lines where kids east of 35 are zoned to crappier east Austin schools by moving the McCallum lines west and Kealing lines east. Those schools are going to take a hit and continue down the bad path.
  5. Woof, I missed all the EOSE fun... did not stay the course and sold out mid last year. Have stay true to UUUU and IBRX for better or worse.
  6. Just let all these other districts figure it out through the tax base. I’m a bit tired of our taxes going up just to have a large portion of that go elsewhere.
  7. PSA, Twin in Tarrytown had a few of each this morning. I heard the new Specs on 35th had Weller12 and Blanton as well.
  8. Buying IBRX? Fairly early on I did have a good amount of BTC but then I found out about leveraged trading on BitMex and blew it all. Work wise I could have joined a small startup many years ago called Klaviyo but would have had to move to Boston.
  9. Horns win 27 - 13 Manning 230 yards
  10. From the AMEX lounge in DFW FIGHT!!
  11. If he’s clean let him in. At the DFW lounge and plenty of Buckeyes waiting to fly out tonight.
  12. Get there early when it opens. Gets way busier around 9 or 10.
  13. Sammies is pretty good but just like any other MML place... good but expensive. Be ready to spend $100pp min.
  14. I go to the Wash Shop on Guadalupe just north of campus. Just the emission test took around 5 min but I did need to wait 24 hours before doing the registration renewal online but they give you a email receipt that can be used for a month until you get the sticker mailed.
