The Beat the Heat program won the Educate Texas TXCAN Pitch Competition, earning $5,000 to continue increasing college enrollment through transportation and enrollment support.
A partnership of the Department of Postsecondary Initiatives and the SAISD Foundation, the program provides young alumni bus transportation and on-site registration assistance at local colleges and universities. The Foundation’s Postsecondary Navigators guide the graduates through the process of college enrollment and help retrieve missing paperwork. The program’s recent trips helped 321 members of the Class of 2026 register for classes, contributing to the district’s 57% rate of postsecondary enrollment, a number that’s rising in SAISD as it declines nationwide at peer districts.

It was all yellow! Pre-K scholars at Franklin Elementary had so much fun learning about this primary color as they explored materials and made discoveries about color, shape and texture through art experiences. Looking good, little Falcons!
What is a Voter Approval Tax Rate Election (VATRE) and a school bond?
▪ VATRE: generates funding for day-to-day district operations, such as student initiatives for college and career readiness, educator pathways, and compensation.
▪ Bond: allows districts to invest in long-term capital needs, such as safety and security, renovations, technology, and Alamo Stadium/Convocation Center improvements.
Funding sources are separate, and each have different allowable uses.

Getting spirited with math! Sixth grade students at Irving Dual Language Academy were exploring the concept of scaling by viewing exemplars and collaborating with peers to share their thinking. By learning from one another, students deepen their understanding and build confidence as mathematicians. Great work, Rams!
