Austin ISD is rolling out a new scoring system to decide which schools might need more resources—or even face closure or consolidation—in the next few years. With over 20,000 empty seats across the district, officials say tough decisions are coming, but they promise to be open and thoughtful about the process. The new “consolidation score” looks at things like building condition, enrollment, and costs, aiming for a fair shake for every campus. How do you feel about possible school closures or mergers in your neighborhood? What would you want the district to consider most? #Education #K12 #AustinISD
