Austin ISD Proposes School Closures, Consolidations; State Turnaround Plans in PlayThe Austin Independent School District is set to vote on a plan that could close ten schools, relocating nearly four thousand students to different campuses starting next fall. One such school, Blackshear Elementary in East Austin, would see its enrollment double by taking in students from Oak Springs Elementary, which is under a state turnaround plan due to its consistent F accountability grade. If students from a school under a turnaround plan are reassigned, the turnaround plan follows them to their new school, creating unique situations. The districts consolidation and turnaround plans will be voted on by trustees this week, then submitted to the Texas Education Agency for review and approval.
