The Austin Independent School District will be closed for the winter break through Friday, Jan. 2.
AISD offices and schools will be closed during this period. The district will resume regular business hours Monday, Jan. 5.
Earlier this month, the Austin Independent School District announced 23 schools will be frozen to transfers during the 2015-16 school year, while another 20 schools will be monitored.
Each year, AISD determines which schools should be frozen to transfers because they have, or are expected to have, enrollments that exceed their capacities. Some schools also are frozen to maintain stability in tracking patterns.
The administration will monitor space in all schools as boundary changes and/or reassignments are approved by the board of trustees.

Students, teachers, parents and community members joined forces Thursday at Travis High School to make more than 40 dozen pork and chicken tamales.
This was the eighth year for Travis High's tamalada, or tamale-making party, which welcomes members of the extended Travis family to participate.
"The parents and community members really step up," said Principal Ty Davidson. "They always do."
The tamales are available for a donation to the school's culinary arts program, but Davidson said the fundraising aspect isn't at the forefront of the gathering.
