Summary
Austin Independent School District faces a $181 million budget shortfall, proposing cuts to over 200 staff positions. Superintendent Matias Segura aims to reduce costs by $181 million, with $108 million already identified and $45 million potentially from selling properties. The cuts primarily affect elementary, middle, and high schools, with 85, 51, and 79 positions at risk, respectively. The district is avoiding drastic cuts from 2011, which eliminated 1200 jobs. The board will make final decisions at the June 18th meeting. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
