Northeast Early College High School senior Odette Rodriguez is headed to the University of Texas at Austin this fall, where she’ll pursue a dual degree in Architecture and Architectural Engineering, completely free of cost, thanks to the Terry Foundation Scholarship and additional awards.

Why it matters: Odette moved from Mexico City in 10th grade. Adjusting to a new country and school system wasn’t easy, but she rose to the top, graduating in the top five students in her class!

2022 Bond Update: Breaking ground on the future of Austin ISD

This Spring, Austin ISD celebrated the first completed project as part of the 2022 Bond!

Can you believe it’s still May? We’re back for our third convening of the Austin ISD Board of Trustees this month and we have a lot to cover. Trustees met for the May Regular Voting Meeting and got one step closer to next month’s vote for a 2025-26 budget. 

Superintendent Matias Segura kicked off the night with a jam-packed presentation, which included an update on the district’s fund balance, school consolidation planning and the latest work on school improvement. Let’s dive in. 

Travis Early College High School Senior Karomi Contreras is headed to the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin this fall to major in international business. She also landed a summer internship with Austin FC, where she’ll get hands-on experience in the world of sports.

Dear Austin ISD Community, 

In the coming weeks, I will be making some difficult, but critical decisions about the path forward for our central budget, organizational structure and how we support our schools.
