  As Eanes ISD grapples with its budget deficit, one business owner accuses the district of ignoring his multimillion-dollar endowment.

The article from MSN discusses a controversy involving Austin business owner David Armbrust and the Eanes Independent School District (Eanes ISD). Armbrust claims that the school district rejected a historic endowment offer from him and his wife, which was intended to fund a new elementary school. This offer came at a time when Eanes ISD was facing a significant budget deficit, projected at $12.8 million for the 2023-24 school year. The endowment was proposed to be a $10 million gift, with the condition that the school be named after Armbrust's late mother, Mary Armbrust. However, the district's board of trustees voted against accepting the endowment, citing concerns over the precedent of naming rights and the financial implications of the endowment's terms. This decision has sparked debate over the district's financial management and its approach to community donations during times of financial strain.
