The Austin school board has voted unanimously to name a new school opening this fall in South Austin for Barton Hills resident and long-time community volunteer
Nan Clayton.
Nan helped found Barton Hills Neighborhood Association and also served as a trustee on the AISD school board. She's currently actively involved in our neighborhood planning process and continues to be engaged in education issues. What a great, lasting legacy!
Congratulations, Nan!
From the AISD Press Release:
Austin School Trustees have honored five outstanding Austin citizens, bestowing these names on new schools opening in 2006 and 2007 as part of the 2004 Apple At Work Bond Program:
Nan Clayton Elementary School, located at 7525 La Crosse Avenue. This campus will also open in August 2006. Ms. Clayton served on the AISD Board of Trustees from 1978-92, was the longest-serving Board Member, and only the second woman elected to the Board. She is active in a variety of local and state organizations dedicated to education, civic involvement, and quality of life issues.
