(2025). The Effect of Academia, A Culturally Relevant Pedagogy, on English Language Learner Achievement [Unpublished Doctoral Dissertation, University of Texas at Austin]. Abstract: The public school system in the United States continues to witness a rise in English Language Learners (ELLs). An ELL student is defined as one whose native language differs from English. Best practices identify Culturally Relevant Pedagogy (CRP) as an effective approach for working with ELLs, potentially contributing to the academic achievement of students from diverse backgrounds. While researchers have explored the implementation of CRP programs, few studies have concentrated on elementary-age students, and even fewer on ELLs within elementary education. This emphasizes the idea that early interventions can lead to higher success rates among students. This ex-post facto independent measures research study represents …

AUSTIN CAPITAL DELIVERY SERVICES DEPARTMENT TO: ESB MACC Advisory Board FROM: Heidi Tse, Capital Delivery Services Project Manager DATE: September 29, 2025 SUBJECT: Mexican American Cultural Center Substantial Completion Delay ___________________________________________________________________________ This memo provides an update following our September 10, 2025, announcement regarding the delay in reopening the ESB Mexican American Cultural Center, originally scheduled for November 1, 2025. Summary of Contractor Notices and Responses • May 21, 2025: The City issued a notice to the contractor for missing the milestone to enclose the building. In response, the contractor committed to increasing workforce capacity and maintaining a six-day workweek. These efforts led to a noticeable uptick in onsite activity and trade partner engagement. • August 19, 2025: A second notice was sent due to continued issues with incomplete building enclosure (missing glass and doors) and deviations from construction documentation. The contractor requested that certain corrections be deferred to the final completion phase and sought assistance resolving an Austin Fire Department comment regarding the fire system tie-in. They also proposed using a Temporary Certificate for Stocking to allow preliminary preparations by the Office of Arts, Culture, Music, and Entertainment (ACME). • September 9, 2025: During a regularly scheduled project meeting, the contractor, informed the Capital Delivery Services (CDS) Project Manager that the contractor’s internal building envelope test failed. This test is a fundamental benchmark for a fully enclosed building and an important prerequisite to obtaining a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for furniture installation and staff move-in. • September 10,2025: Announcement to the MACC Advisory Board, completion of construction has been delayed. • September 12, 2025: Following our announcement to the Board, the City formally notified the contractor that substantial completion had not been achieved and requested a revised schedule and a plan of action. The contractor submitted a proposed revised timeline on September 19, 2025. The contractor has represented to the City a substantial completion of November 3, 2025. The contractor is committed to increasing the workforce capacity and maintaining a seven-day workweek. Due to failure in meeting the contract Substantial Completion date, liquidated damages (LD) is a means of recovering losses. Damages will be determined during close-out period / post construction. We understand and share your concern regarding this delay. Our team remains committed to working diligently and collaboratively to return this cherished cultural space to the community as soon as possible. We appreciate your continued support and patience as …

September 30, 2025 RE: Calhoun House Historic Landmark Designation Dear Chair Heimsath, Vice Chair Evans, and members of the Austin Historic Landmark Commission, Preservation Austin exists to empower Austinites to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and meaningful community culture through preservation. We write today in support of historic designation for 2401 Givens Avenue, also known as the Calhoun House, for its historic associations and community value. This home and the people who lived there embody the invaluable contributions Black Austinites made to our city during the 20th and 21st centuries. We are proud to partner with the home’s owner, our friend Ms. Patricia Calhoun, in preparing this much-deserved nomination. The Calhoun House was built in 1959 by Theodore “T.C.” Calhoun and Thelma Dotson Calhoun in the Rogers-Washington-Holy Cross neighborhood, one of Austin’s first suburban developments built by and for Black Austinites during segregation. The Calhouns were educators and civic leaders in Austin’s Black community during the mid-twentieth century, when “separate but equal” policies hindered Black prosperity. Mr. Calhoun was the longtime principal of Kealing Middle School, Austin’s only middle school for Black students. Mrs. Calhoun was a Jeanes supervisor for segregated rural schools and later a reading specialist. Both were active leaders of Ebenezer Third Baptist Church and held significant civic roles, including with the Austin Negro Chamber of Commerce and the Teacher’s State Association of Texas. T.C. and Thelma Calhoun created an enduring legacy and helped build community for Black Austinites, establishing a tradition of excellence in education and service that marks an inspiring chapter in Austin’s history. Their leadership lives on in their daughter Pat, who sees the Calhoun House as her personal legacy. Among her many accomplishments, Pat was a leader in the grassroots effort to designate Rogers-Washington-Holy Cross as a historic district and preserve this remarkable community’s story. Preservation Austin is honored to call Pat our partner and friend of nearly a decade. From early support for the historic district effort, to our documentary that tells the story of this incredible neighborhood, Pat’s partnership and generosity have made an indelible impact on our organization. We are thrilled and proud to support the designation of the Calhoun House as a City of Austin Landmark. Thank you for your consideration and your service to the City of Austin. Sincerely, Miriam Conner, President

From: To: Subject: Date: Historic Preservation Office Case HR 2025-112176 - 514 East Monroe Street Sunday, September 28, 2025 9:11:44 PM External Email - Exercise Caution Ms. Wagner, As an officer and co-chair of the Parks and Environment Committee of the South River City Citizens Neighborhood Association, and a resident at 709 East Monroe, within 500 feet of the subject property, I wish to register my opposition to the proposed demolition of three contributing residences (a duplex and single-family dwelling) at 514 East Monroe Street. My opposition is based both on the buildings' historical value, and also my concern for damage to a number of protected heritage live oaks on the parcel. I would appreciate it if you circulated my views with the Commission members and entered my position in the record. Please advise me as this case evolves. Thank you.

From: To: Subject: Date: Historic Preservation Office Case Number HR-2025-112176; PR-2025-112882 (514 E Monroe Street) Monday, September 29, 2025 3:19:20 PM External Email - Exercise Caution Good afternoon, I am unsure if I am beyond the date to provide feedback, but I wanted to send an email to express my disapproval related to the planned demolition of the home(s)/structures related to the case numbers referenced in my email subject line. My disapproval stems from the following items: The single family home is generally in a good state of repair and represents the style of home original to this neighborhood. I don’t understand the purpose of having a historic preservation area if we aren’t going to preserve history We live in a similar bungalow-style home on the same block which has been restored/renovated/added on to. No reason the same work can’t be done before demolition There are numerous BEAUTIFUL LARGE live oak and other native trees on this property that I would be very concerned about damage to. Especially given the location just across the street from the park, these trees are very prominent in the neighborhood The home directly next to this one (512 E Monroe) also had an application to be demolished. The commission heard similar arguments and the home was restored and is now occupied. That home was in significantly worse condition (i.e. hypothetically would’ve been a more reasonable demolition candidate) so I wouldn’t understand why this home would be treated differently There is limited affordable housing in this neighborhood, and this property has multiple units which I fear would be replaced. We should not be removing supply from the area Let me know if you need any other information from me. But I oppose this demolition.
