AISD closes shop for spring break

The Austin Independent School District will close next week, March 13-17, for spring break. That includes all district offices and schools, which will reopen for business the following Monday, March 20. Due to the closures, the sign-up for March 20’s public hearing on the Facility Master Plan is this Friday, March 10. It’s part of the ongoing process underway for the district to take stock of its current facilities and decide how they will be utilized in the future. AISD’s board got an update on the subject earlier this week. Community members who aren’t able to speak at the hearing – which begins at 1 p.m. – can email their opinions to the trustees at trustees@austinisd.org.
