Austin, Texas – City Manager Spencer Cronk writes “The Palm School property represents an inspirational and essential piece of our shared community, and the public’s desire to find a future use of the property that both maintains public ownership and preserves its historic significance and cultural values has been made clear.” The property, most recently used as offices by the county’s Health and Human Services department, served as the primary school for Austin’s Mexican American community nearby from 1892 to 1976.
