AUSTIN, Texas — The Austin ISD Board of Trustees is set to vote Thursday night on the district’s updated school consolidation plan.
According to the current plan, 10 campuses would close ahead of the 2026-2027 school year and nearly 4,000 students would be sent to different schools in order to address a $19.7 million budget shortfall.
After the final vote, the district's turnaround plan must then be sent to the Texas Education Agency (TEA) for final review.
AISD schools set to close
Currently, the schools set to close are Becker, Barrington, Dawson, Oak Springs, Ridgetop, Sunset Valley and Widén elementary schools, along with Winn Montessori and Bedichek and Martin middle schools.
International high schools are set to shut down, as well.
