The state has dismissed its May 2025 inquiry into our district’s alleged violation of the prohibited concepts law. This resolution does not involve any admission of wrongdoing on the district’s part, and the state’s actions indicate the legal investigation is no longer worth pursuing. We have always maintained full compliance with the law and this matter was well-positioned for conclusion.
Dear Austin ISD families,
This was a difficult week and before we head into the weekend, I want to personally address the gaps in communication during Wednesday’s police incident in the Barton Hills community.
Most importantly, I deeply apologize for the stress and fear that we undoubtedly contributed to this week. Our top priority at Austin ISD is the safety of our students. We exist to educate, but we cannot fulfill that purpose without ensuring the safety of every child and staff member in our care.
Looking for ways to support Austin ISD students and staff this month? Here’s what’s on our radar for September:
The Faculty and Staff Fine Arts Exhibit is a must! The exhibit showcases amazing work from our educators and staff from across the district.
Starting this fall, progress reports and standard report cards will now be emailed to families directly to their email.
Why it matters: We’re committed to building connections between our students’ homes and our classrooms. By sending these documents directly to families, we’ll ensure they won’t get lost at the bottom of backpacks and caregivers can check in on how their child is doing throughout grading periods.
September is Attendance Awareness Month, a nationwide effort to raise awareness about the importance of regular student attendance and academic success.
Why it matters: Attendance is directly linked to academic achievement, social-emotional development, and long-term success.
