The gist
Trustees discussed the six applications they received behind closed doors on Dec. 7. The position was posted from Nov. 17 until 5 p.m. on Dec. 7.
Segura was named interim superintendent December 2022 following a November announcement that former interim Superintendent Anthony Mays would leave the district for a position in Houston.
Prior to Mays’ departure, former Superintendent Stephanie Elizalde left the district in June 2022 for a position at Dallas ISD, as previously reported by Community Impact.
Quote of note
“We've talked to our community who has told us they want someone who understands and appreciates and is committed to Austin ISD for the long term," board member Kathryn Whitley Chu said Dec. 14. "[Segura] is Austin ISD's first homegrown superintendent. He's a product of Austin ISD, the son of a beloved Austin ISD teacher and a proud parent of two Austin ISD students. [Segura] is a shining example that anything is possible for Austin ISD students."
What’s next
Public forums will be held in 2024 with Segura to allow the community to provide feedback. The board anticipates voting on a contract for the superintendent in January.
