AISD to intervene at 12 failing campuses Twelve AISD campuses will require immedi- ate intervention after receiving three F ratings from the Texas Education Agency, AISD officials announced Sept. 3. The district could choose to close these schools, or restart the campus by hiring new principals and staff or partnering with a charter school. Something to note This summer, AISD initiated a school consolida- tion process to close and merge certain campuses in the 2026-27 school year, due to budgetary constraints and declining enrollment. While AISD didn’t use A-F ratings to rank cam- puses for potential consolidation, the 2025 ratings may now limit the district’s ability to combine campuses, Superintendent Matias Segura said in a letter posted to the district’s website.
PfISD lowers deficit, passes tax rate Pflugerville ISD’s fiscal year 2025-26 tax rate will stay at $1.1069, the same as last year, following an Aug. 28 board vote. The average homeowner will pay $132 more in taxes, as median taxable home values rose from $289,975 in 2024 to $301,952 in 2025. The trustees also approved amendments that shrink PfISD’s FY 2025-26 shortfall. Updated budget House Bill 2 funding resulted in a $6.9 million shortfall improvement to the adopted budget. $0
