East Austin Education

We believe, along with many of our colleagues and student parents, that the time has come to separate East Austin from Austin ISD and form its own school district. We already have two de facto districts separated by Interstate 35, Austin’s historical dividing line. To the benefit of both, we should legally separate them. This is also for sound financial reasons.

The new ISD would have access to the expanding wealth from new housing developments and businesses in East Austin rather than Austin ISD transferring it west of I-35. It would have funds to refurbish buildings, reward dedicated teachers, unleash educational creativity, establish community school hubs from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., and disperse administrative staff across local schools so that they see the children they serve every day. There would be no behemoth administrative temple like the one built by Austin ISD.
