AISD Family Leaver Survey
To understand the most common reasons that students leave the Austin Independent School District (AISD), and identify where students go after they leave, AISD conducted a survey of the parent or guardian of each student who was withdrawn from AISD. The survey was automated in 2016-2017 and is ongoing. Results are posted here.
