Dear Austin ISD Community,

Nine months ago, we set out to transform Austin ISD into a district that can sustain the pressures on public education and move academic outcomes for students across the district. Today, we are releasing the first part of our recommended plan that includes programmatic relocations and changes related to turnaround plans, including school consolidations.

This is the 43nd Annual African American Heritage Celebration, and it is an opportunity for Austin ISD to celebrate the academic achievements of our students, the dedication and leadership of staff members, and the commitment of our community partners. We honor over two hundred students, Austin ISD staff members, and various community leaders.
