Give feedback on AISD bond proposals

The Austin Independent School District Board of Trustees is hashing out the details of what to include in a potential 2022 bond package for the November ballot. There are two proposals up for a vote: a $1.75 billion bond that requires no tax rate increase, and a $2.25 billion bond that calls for a $0.01 increase to the debt service tax rate (though there will be a decrease in the district’s overall tax rate). The school board is scheduled to vote on the bond proposals tonight, Aug. 11, and community members are invited to give feedback at the meeting. Sign up to speak in person or record your comments by calling (512) 414-0130 between 7:45 a.m. and 3 p.m. today.
