AISD superintendent search may near an end

Following a Dec. 7 closed session, the Austin Independent School District Board of Trustees is one step closer to choosing a new superintendent. The position was posted in November and is currently filled by interim Superintendent Matias Segura, who was previously the district’s chief of operations before assuming the role in January. A message from the board explained that they had received six applications. A potential vote to name a lone finalist is on this Thursday’s agenda. “If a lone finalist is named on December 14, the community will have an opportunity to participate in public forums with the lone finalist in January and the board anticipates voting on a contract in late January,” according to a letter addressed to the AISD community.
