April 2018 Update on Progress of Austin ISD 2017 Bond Program / Noticias sobre el progreso del programa del bono del 2017 – abril de 2018

On Nov. 7, 2017, a majority of Austin voters—72 percent—passed Austin ISD's bond proposal for $1,050,984,000 to create 21st-century learning spaces for all students.

Since the election, the district has worked quickly to initiate the first phases of implementation for the bond program.

As part of our commitment to communicate the progress of the bond to the community, we are launching the AISD Future: 2017 Bond Newsletter to provide a high-level update on bond implementation, as well as information on how you can get involved.
