A new interlocal agreement between the city of Austin and Round Rock ISD will expedite permitting timelines and allow the school district to exclude turf stadiums from calculations of impervious cover.

What you need to know: The 25-year interlocal agreement between the city and school district was approved at recent meetings of the Austin City Council and RRISD board of trustees in January.
