Our third issue offers a comprehensive look at the Austin ISD budget crisis, what is causing it and what is proposed to resolve it. In news, we take a look back at the origins of our best in the nation @macjournalism Insta account and look ahead to a new Austin ISD sex ed curriculum and a new construction project on Grover and Koenig. Our feature success takes you to last summer at Mariko Deloach's trip to Japan and next summer and the summer camp hopes of many Mac leaders in training. We profile new AVID adviser Zulmy Galindo and the new Students of Color organization, both of which are fighting to improve the campus experience for students of color. In A&E, we sit down with filmmaker Alex Martinez and take your to a front row seat at Choir Cabaret. Max Rhodes takes you a virtual visit to Chicago, the site of the recent national high school journalism convention. In sports, we profile basketball standouts Tracy Atoo and Sam Werkenthin.
