AISD Consolidation Process

 

AISD is planning to consolidate campuses as a cost-savings measure, beginning in the 2026 school year. It has not yet been decided which campuses or how many will close.

Much of the community engagement and information from AISD has happened over the summer, and the Zilker PTA has been engaged throughout. We will post all relevant information for Zilker families on this site.

AISD Consolidation Planning Process

Process overview:  https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/3ee08a9b00df4204a95bc8f7e738d049
  • Phase 1: AISD created a data rubric that ranked schools based on a range of factors (which were significantly facilities-focused). Zilker Elementary's score was a 3.25 out of 5 (higher scores are "worse" in this rubric). You can see the scores for all the campuses in the district under "total score" on this page
  • Phase 2: AISD central office and trustees will conduct a contextual analysis decide how to consolidate campuses (including closures, boundary changes, policy changes, and other adjustments) taking into account the rubric scores and other factors
 
Zilker Elementary Engagement
- Trustee Lynn Boswell spoke at our PTA meeting on May 16 on several topics, including answering questions about consolidation
- Zilker PTA sent a letter to AISD trustees on July 31 providing suggestions to inform the consolidation rubric.
- Zilker Elementary PTA shared a survey with the school community to gather feedback on what the school community valued, in order to inform a future communication with the AISD board. Over 100 families responded. We will share results in the upcoming info session.

Upcoming Opportunities to Engage
- Zilker PTA will be sharing information on consolidation in a school-wide info session on Tuesday 8/26 from 5-6pm in the cafeteria. All Zilker families are welcome, and we will record the session as well. 
- AISD sent a survey that closes 8/26. Complete the survey and make your voice heard. 
- Look out for additional opportunities to engage in your Zilker Elementary PTA emails.

AISD School Closures and Consolidations:

The District is reviewing ALL schools during this process and we want to make sure you know what is going on and how you can help to keep Zilker open.
