Aaron Ballard+FollowAustin schools face tough choices as campuses hit the marketAustin ISD is moving fast to sell the old Brooke and Rosedale school campuses to keep a $19.7 million budget gap from getting worse. If these properties don’t sell soon, the district could face even deeper cuts—just months after closing 10 schools. The Rosedale sale is tangled in a legal fight over neighborhood restrictions, while the Brooke sale could displace nonprofits and the Native American Cultural Center, which just settled in. These decisions are hitting real people and programs hard. What do you think: Should the district prioritize balancing the budget or protecting community spaces? #RealEstate #AustinISD #AustinSchools00Share
Michael Petty+FollowBig changes ahead for Austin school districtsLeadership shakeups are on the horizon for some of Austin’s largest school districts. Leander ISD’s superintendent, Bruce Gearing, is a finalist for a top job in Arkansas, surprising many on the local school board. Meanwhile, Eanes ISD has picked Kirk Koennecke as its lone finalist for superintendent after a nationwide search, and Bastrop ISD is set to promote Kristi Lee, who’s been leading as interim. With so much movement at the top, what do you think this means for students, teachers, and families in Central Texas? How important is steady leadership in our schools? #Education #AustinSchools #Community00Share
