Austin ISD staff held a community forum in East Austin to present a draft districtwide attendance-zone consolidation and state-required school transformation plan that would reassign many students from Widen (variously spelled in comments) to José Rodríguez Elementary and Houston Elementary. District leaders described goals — aligning feeder patterns, concentrating dual-language programs, and reallocating limited resources — and said a revised draft will be posted Friday with a board vote scheduled for 2025-11-20. Parents, teachers and advocates raised urgent concerns about special education services, community hubs (library/recreation), staff retention and the pace of the timeline.
