Austin ISD

El distrito había dicho que solo ofrecería clases presenciales en el siguiente año escolar pero reconsideró su decisión ante la demanda de varios padres y el incremento en los casos de COVID-19.

The district previously said it would offer only in-person classes, because the state will not fund virtual learning next school year.

An executive order from the governor bans schools from requiring masks in school buildings.

El distrito perdió 5,000 estudiantes durante el año escolar 2020-2021. Eso significa que también perdió fondos estatales. Así que este verano, equipos del distrito irán de puerta a puerta para buscar que los estudiantes regresen.

The district lost 5,000 students during the 2020-2021 school year. That loss means a loss in state funding. So this summer, teams are going out to communities to try and get students to re-enroll.

Earlier this year, 800 students were waiting to be evaluated. The district's new administration gave AISD a July 1 deadline to clear the backlog.

The district said all classes will be in-person next school year after the Texas Legislature failed to pass a bill that would have ensured schools get state funding for virtual learning.

Un nuevo reporte del distrito escolar muestra que los estudiantes negros e hispanos recibieron suspensiones y otros castigos con mayor frecuencia que los estudiantes blancos.

A report from the district shows Black students were five times more likely than white students to receive suspensions and other punishments. Hispanic students were twice as likely.

AISD announced the training as part of an agreement with a former student who said the district repeatedly mishandled her sexual assault complaint.
