Austin ISD Seeks Community Input on Next Superintendent

Austin ISD officials are seeking the community’s input on what qualities they would like to see in the next superintendent. Throughout the week, the district has offered town halls to community members, who discussed topics such as the challenges AISD currently faces and what they want to see in a new superintendent. Those attending brought up challenges they want the new superintendent to address such as special education and disability evaluations, saying the district is not where it should be at this point. Some of the qualities sought in a new superintendent mentioned by the community during the town hall meeting included being present, doing whatever it takes to be successful, equity, resilience, a role model and someone who is solution-oriented. An online survey has been created where community members can share their input through March 15. After the town halls are completed and surveys are gathered, GR Recruiting will put together a profile over the next several weeks, the district said.
