Students, staff, families invited to share thoughts on reopening district

Austin ISD will host a series of eight virtual Conversation Circles to gain input on the district's reopening planning as staff prepares for a variety of education models that could be in place next year. 

Campus facilities have been closed since March 13 due to COVID-19 precautions. A reopening taskforce, comprised of staff and community members, is currently looking at options to continue teaching and learning in a safe way for the 2020-21 school year. 

The Conversation Circles will include a short presentation, followed by one-hour conversations in small groups. The meeting will conclude with a 15-minute facilitated question and answer session with academic leadership. 

The Conversation Circles will have audience and language focuses for each meeting, however, anyone is welcome to attend.
