Episode description

The Austin Independent School District announced changes this week to its plans to shutter campuses across the city as AISD looks for ways to save money. The consolidation plan started with 13 schools slated for the chopping block. Now, that number has been dwindled down, and some AISD parents are frustrated by what they consider the wishy-washy way the plans have been rolled out.

KUT’s Katy McAfee was at last night’s district school board meeting and she joins us to share the latest updates.

Plus, it’s a busy weekend of happenings with Rock The Park and the Austin Studio Tour.

And Maile Carballo talks about student media KVRX’s efforts to raise funds. You can find how to donate here.
