Austin Independent School District Board of Trustees
AISD Board Meetings
The AISD Board of Trustees meets on the second, third and fourth Monday evenings of the month (except July) in the Board Auditorium of the Carruth Administration Center, 1111 West Sixth Street. Board Meetings are as follows: Work Session: second Monday of the month; Dialogue Meeting: third Monday of the month; Regular Meeting: fourth Monday of the month. Work Sessions and Regular Meetings are cablecast live on AISD Cable Channel 22 and are periodically re-cablecast. Most AISD Board meetings are open to the public. Within the limits of the Texas Open Meetings Act, however, parts of Board meetings, such as consideration of real estate transactions, personnel matters, student hearings, and legal matters, may be closed to the public. Agendas for all Board meetings will be available to the public online at least 72 hours prior to the meeting.
Citizens Communication
Every Regular Board Meeting (Fourth Monday of the month) includes one hour for Citizens Communication. Each speaker is allotted two minutes. This allows up to 30 speakers, who speak in the order in which they signed up, to address the Board about the issue of their choice.
If you wish to speak during Citizens Communication, you must sign up on the day of the meeting, before the meeting begins. You can sign up in the Superintendent's Office (Rm. A-250) during regular work hours (7:45 am to 4:45 pm), or in the Board Auditorium between 4:45 pm and 7:00 pm. Speakers will be asked to provide the following information: The subject to be addressed, speaker’s name, address, and telephone number, and, if applicable, the group or organization the speaker represents. An individual may not sign up for another person, nor can speakers exchange time or yield time to others.
