AISD Public Hearing
The Austin Independent School District is holding a public hearing on its Facilities Master Plan tonight. Last week the AISD Board adopted the framework to guide how it manages its facilities, but the Board still hasn’t decided on a few key issues. There has been opposition to some parts of the plan, including a proposal to add in-district charter schools at some struggling campuses. Tonight’s hearing runs from 6 – 8 p.m. at AISD’s headquarters on West 6th Street. Speakers are limited to two minutes each, and can sign up in the Board Auditorium until 6:15 p.m.
Primary Ballot Filing Begins
Today is the first day Texas politicians can file for a place on the March 6th primary ballot. The filing period runs through December 15th. These dates may change if the U.S. Supreme Court decides to grant Attorney General Greg Abbott's request for an emergency stay, preventing the use of current court-ordered redistricting maps.
