The Austin ISD school board will review two maps of proposed new board district boundaries at its April 14 meeting.

AISD updates its board district boundaries every 10 years based on U.S. Census data. Periodic redistricting ensures each district maintains equal representation on the basis of population, according to the district’s website.

District boundaries need to be adjusted this year due to a Texas Education Agency requirement that mandates redistricting if the most populous trustee district exceeds the population of the least populous district by more than 10%.

Redistricting distributes the AISD population equally between seven single-member districts. Two of the nine board members are at large representatives without a geographic district. The process does not add new districts from outside neighborhoods or impact attendance zones, feeder patterns or taxes, according to AISD's website.

Thompson and Horton LLP, a law firm hired by the district to assist with redistricting, will present two draft maps with new suggested district boundaries to the school board on April 14. The board aims to adopt a final plan in late May or June.
