AISD to hold special meeting tonight

The Austin Independent School District will be holding a special board meeting tonight, and like most things these days, it will take place online. AISD is currently gathering public input on the agenda, which will feature discussions about the district’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic and its search for a new superintendent. Comments from the public are being recorded in advance using the following process: Those wishing to speak are asked to sign up and then call 512-414-0130 to record a 60-second remark by 3 p.m. today, April 6. Alternately, comments can be emailed to trustees@austinisd.org. AISD announced Friday that classes would be moving online, with school buildings to remain closed for “an indefinite period of time.” That move to online learning, and how it will take shape, will also be addressed at tonight’s meeting.
