Segura said during the board meeting that developing and carrying out this school closure plan has been “a very difficult process.”
Most of the schools impacted by closures are at the elementary level, according to the district.
Segura also said he wished the district didn’t have to make this decision, “but the pressures are gargantuan.”
Austin ISD instructed 72,700 students across 113 schools in 2024-25.
