Austin ISD Strategic Plan 2020–25

Strategic planning is one of the tools Austin ISD uses to provide the district with focus and direction. It consists of the following elements:

Strategic Plan Framework

The AISD Board of Trustees approved the framework for the 2020-25 strategic plan which includes our mission, vision, values and priorities. This provides the high-level strategic direction and is the responsibility of the Board of Trustees.

Goals and Scorecard

The district’s scorecard provides a tool to assess progress. It includes indicators, targets and actual data. The scorecard is created collaboratively between the board and the Superintendent. The board approved a new five year scorecard and final targets during the August Regular Voting Meeting.

Strategies and Actions

The Superintendent and Administration identify strategies that will guide its work to make progress against the priorities and scorecard indicators. The Administration identifies action steps and conducts ongoing progress monitoring throughout the year.

Equity Action Plan

The 2023 Austin ISD Equity Action Plan served as a source document for both the district's strategic plan 2020-25 and the Long Range Plan, which informed the other districtwide planning initiatives. Since the Equity Action Plan was utilized as a source document, the plan has since been archived. 

Regulatory Appendices

Texas Education Code requires that every school district in the state have a District Improvement Plan, and Austin ISD’s policy AE (Local) requires the district to have a strategic plan. In order not to have two plans that accomplish the same purpose, Austin ISD has chosen to have a strategic plan that also satisfies state DIP requirements. The purpose of the appendices is to provide various other components required for DIPs.

The appendices are the responsibility of the superintendent. They include:
