Parents and students urge Lake Travis ISD to restore canceled middle‑school Discovery (GT) program
Summary
Multiple parents and students addressed the board during public comment on March 25, urging Lake Travis ISD to reinstate the Discovery/Gifted & Talented program at Lake Travis Middle School after district plans indicated the program would not be offered in the coming year.
Multiple parents and students used the board’s public comment period on March 25 to press Lake Travis ISD to restore the Discovery/Gifted & Talented (GT) program at Lake Travis Middle School.
Speakers including Jonathan Sandstrom Hill, Eleanor Sandstrom Hill, Harold Corson, Quinn Small, Parker McKallip, Ryder Kraft, Frederic Martijn Hormans, Freddie Hormans and Michael Herman told the board the Discovery program is being canceled at the middle-school level and asked trustees to reconsider or provide alternatives. The minutes list each speaker and the topic they raised under public comment but do not record a board response or a staff explanation during the meeting.
The comments were grouped under a single public‑comment agenda item and reflect parent and student concern about access to GT services at the middle school. The minutes do not indicate any immediate action, referral, or timeline for staff follow‑up. The comments therefore remain a community request pending any subsequent staff report or board action.
