A long-awaited list of which Austin ISD campuses will close for the 2026-2027 school year will be released to parents at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. What the district is calling its school consolidation plan has been in the works since at least May. Some schools in Austin ISD are severely overenrolled, some are underenrolled, and overall there are far fewer students than the district has capacity for. Austin ISD officials said they will only close schools where there are more seats than students, but that doesn't mean overenrolled schools won’t be affected. The district is redrawing attendance boundaries and changing its transfer policy so overenrolled schools have breathing room.
