AUSTIN — The Austin Independent School District (ISD) announced it will release an updated draft of its school consolidation and boundary change plan on November 20 as the district nears its deadline for finalizing the proposal.
District officials said the updated draft incorporates community feedback and aims to optimize the use of existing facilities while addressing declining enrollment in certain areas. The plan includes potential school mergers to improve resource allocation and student outcomes.
Parents and community members have voiced concerns about the possible impact on students and neighborhood identity. Austin ISD assured that the revised plan will take these concerns into account and seek to minimize disruptions.
The district has held multiple public meetings to gather feedback and plans to continue the discussions after the updated draft is released. Officials emphasized their commitment to transparency and community engagement throughout the process.
The school board will review the revised draft before making any final decisions. Once released, the updated plan will be available on the district’s website for public access and comment.
