Tentative New Charter School to Open at Shoreline

From Kim Clark, WB resident

I’ve communicated via e-mail with the director of a tentative new charter school that, if approved by the TEA, will be at Shoreline Christian Church. There is going to be an informational meeting at the church on March 17 at 6 PM in the church chapel. The name for this school would be the Wells Branch Leadership Academy. I thought I’d share it here as I felt there could be some Wells Branch parents who might be interested.  For questions, contact Tom Koger, Director at 210-421-9025.

Youth Advisory Team forming NOW!

Are you a youth resident in Wells Branch? Would you like to have your voice heard for future programs and amenities?

The purpose of the Youth Advisory Team (YAT) will be to partner with the Wells Branch MUD Board of Directors (BOD) to develop and improve activities, programs, and amenities for teenagers that reside within the Wells Branch community. This
does not, at this time, include designing any facility, i.e. bike park, skate-park, etc.

*This isn’t saying the skate park is off the table – the Board would just like to start with a comprehensive look at what the WB teens want in the way of amenities and programming.

Accepted applicants will need to be available to attend meetings during late afternoons, early evenings and/or weekends.  Dates and times will be contingent upon the team’s availability.

Go to the district’s website http://www.wellsbranchmud.com/youth-advisory-team.html and print the application or pick up a copy at the WB Recreation Center, 3000 Shoreline Dr.  Please deliver your application to the WB Recreation Center by Friday, March 8th.

Save these dates – Commissioner Eckhardt wants to hear from you!

Travis County Commissioner Pct. 2, Sarah Eckhardt, would like to invite Wells Branch residents to get involved in their county government!  Below is a list of upcoming meetings; we hope you’ll make time to  attend at least one!

Every one of us should have a voice in our government, but it isn’t always easy to get involved or be heard. That’s why, since my first day in office six years ago, I’ve collaborated with our community through early-morning Coffee Jolts, lunchtime Chat & Chews, and Pints for Progress Happy Hours. Let’s continue the conversation about how to make our community more safe, mobile, prosperous and fair.  – Commissioner Eckhardt
