Board approves new Austin High School Latino student organization
Summary
The board approved a request to recognize a new Austin High School Student Organization of Latinos after activities director Katie Carter reported the pilot group has 46 active members and participates in Culture Week and community library reading activities.
The Austin Public School District board voted to add a new student organization at Austin High School: the Student Organization of Latinos. Activities director Katie Carter presented the request and described the group’s pilot-year work, including reading in Spanish at the public library, participation in Culture Week and a reported membership of 46 active students — above the district’s stated 20-member threshold for official recognition.
Board members complimented the students’ outreach and involvement. After a motion and second, the board approved the club by voice vote. No individual roll-call or vote tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript.
The activities director said the group will be part of ongoing culture programming at the high school and will appear in the district’s activity roster for upcoming school activities.
