2024 Property appraisals are out
Free tuition for 2024 high school grads ACC OKs fall program for eligible students Lily Kepner Austin American-Statesman USA TODAY NETWORK Austin Community College will offer free tuition to eligible high school graduates starting this fall after the institution’s board of trustees on Monday night approved the five-year program. “Today is one of those days that we’ll look back on in history and know that ACC laid the marker for something that will be definitive in making our community more livable and more effective and more economically viable,” ACC Chancellor Russell Lowery-Hart told the American-Statesman after the vote. The pilot program will cover the full $87 per credit hour fee for in-district 2024 high school graduates for three years and for an additional two years for students who decide to pursue a bachelor’s degree at ACC. The college has committed to covering tuition for all future classes in subsequent years for the next five years. All 2024 high school seniors in the Austin, Del Valle, Elgin, Hays, Leander, Manor and Round Rock school districts are considered to be within ACC’s district, as are those in the city of Austin and portions of the Eanes and Pflugerville school districts. Those in the service area who completed their GED diploma after July 1, 2023, are also eligible. Students from the 19 school districts within ACC’s service area but who are not in-district would only pay the outof- district fee, or $201 per semester credit hour, about a 30% reduction in tuition. Textbooks and program-specific fees are not covered under the ACC Free Tuition pilot program, and nondistrict students and those who are currently enrolled are not eligible to participate. The board on Monday approved the pilot program with eight members voting in favor and one abstaining. Barbara Mink, the board’s chair, abstained in favor of devoting more attention to current students’ needs, such as mental health support and child care. “I’d rather see the work done first before we offer free tuition,” Mink said at the meeting in explaining her vote. The board passed the vote with a plan to create a process for current students who are 15 credit hours away from completing their degree to apply for funding to cover the rest of their schooling. That plan was not passed as an amendment, but members were in favor of discussing at their next meeting what this process would look like and the expected cost. “We all came at this knowing this was the right thing to do,” board member Gigi Edwards Bryant said in an interview after the vote. “We just had to figure out how to do it right.”

Didn't know until recently the reason why you cross the safety chains on a trailer is to create a "cradle" for the tongue should it come unhitched.
