MONDAY ANNOUNCEMENTS

Austin ISD visits ICP Donna! ICP Donna was selected to be the host school for about 40 guests from Austin ISD to further our discussions of partnership with the Austin Independent school district. Stakeholders will be on campus from 12 PM-3:30 PM.  Guests will range from school leaders, board members, parents, media and community stakeholders.   This is part of our discussions with AISD to see if there is an opportunity for IDEA to take over an underperforming school, therefore expanding into Austin in a few years.  4 groups will walk in and out of classrooms so please be prepared to do what you always do--your best! We know our guests will find the visit very inspirational!  Most of our intervention classes will be visited...
