A real estate investor, a small business owner, and a board member running for reelection filed for seats on the Austin school
board on Monday, the first day of filing for the May 4 election. Manuel Zuniga, who has pledged $300,000 to the low-performing
Blackshear Elementary School, will face Patricia Whiteside, who is running for reelection. Zuniga said he would focus on making
teacher salaries competitive, saving money to be shared with poor districts in Texas under the school finance law, and
implementing cost-cutting measures recommended by state Comptroller Carole Keeton Rylander.
Ave Wahrmund, who owns a semiconductor equipment company, is seeking a second term in the District 4 seat. She said she
would focus on closing the achievement gap between minority and white students, keeping quality teachers, and involving the
community in decision making.
Donald Abrams, who owns a medical consulting business, filed for the District 7 seat, which Olga Garza will leave in May.
