AUSTIN, Texas — Austin ISD is delaying its district-wide boundary changes until 2028. The plan could eventually redraw attendance lines for thousands of students across the district. This came after the district received more than 2,700 comment cards on top of feedback they heard at community meetings across the district. Families expressed their concerns about how these changes would help the district in the long-run.
Now, the district says the plan will happen in two phases. The first phase starts in August with a possible vote in September. It will focus on schools taking in students from the ten campuses that closed this summer. The second phase would start next January and focus on boundaries across the entire district. District leaders say they will release a timeline this fall with a vote expected next year. Any changes will take effect at the start of the 2028 school year.
