Austin ISD knows that the success of the 2004 Bond Program depends on a healthy ongoing partnership with students, parents, district staff, businesses and workers on bond projects, and all citizens. The district strives to listen to all concerns and comments, to ensure that stakeholders have an opportunity to engage with issues related to the bond program, and to guarantee that everybody feels they got enough information and were included in the ongoing dialogue.

The 2004 Bond Program’s community involvement strategy is designed to make it easy for Austin ISD’s diverse stakeholders to participate meaningfully in this process. The district’s communications team is making presentations throughout the area at social and civic clubs, at issue-specific community roundtables, on AISD campuses, and at larger community and district events. Austin ISD’s also seeking input from individuals and groups both in person and online, and is committed to providing up-to-date information available to all on the 2004 Bond Program on this Web site, in district publications and notices, on AISD’s Channel 22 and in local media.

In addition to partnering with the community on the overall bond program, Austin ISD aims to build relationships at the campus level with individual schools and neighborhoods affected by 2004 Bond Program projects. These localized efforts will ensure that parents and neighbors get answers to their most critical questions and know the progress being made on investing wisely in their children’s future.
