Educational Specification and Project Development Manual Memos for the 2022 Bond Program

Austin ISD is committed to the continuous improvement of our learning spaces. As we design new spaces, inevitable lessons are learned. To ensure we can immediately benefit from these lessons learned, memos are released as soon as possible articulating any changes or required clarifications to our Educational Specifications (Ed Specs) and/or Project Development Manual (PDM). All memos will be incorporated into future formal Ed Specs and/or PDM updates.
