AUSTIN, TX—As families prepare to take advantage of next week’s tax-free weekend, AISD encourages parents to review the district’s list of supplies by schools and grade levels.

The school supplies list is different for every campus and grade level. Parents should check with their child’s school during or around orientation to get a final list. 

Most clothing, footwear, school supplies, and backpacks priced under $100 are exempt from sales tax during the annual weekend holiday. This includes items like paper, scissors, glue, notebooks, etc. According to the state comptroller’s office, shoppers across the state will save an estimated $74.1 million in sales taxes. The savings during tax-free weekend is about $8 per $100 spent.
