Lockhart ISD could enroll as part of the Austin Community College district

Lockhart Independent School District could be annexed to the Austin Community College District. The issue will be put before Lockhart ISD voters this November after ACC trustees certified a petition signed by 1,013 residents on Monday. If voters approve the annexation, residents would pay property taxes to the district and would have access to much lower (potentially free) tuition and fees at the college and job-training programs. The ACC Board of Trustees will hold a public hearing on the annexation and its proposed service plan on Tuesday, June 25, at the Lockhart ISD Performing Arts Center. The hearing will also be livestreamed.
