Anthony Mays starts a new job as interim Austin ISD superintendent Friday, making history as the first Black man to fill that role.
My interest in the job was really about continuing the work of meeting our student needs, closing the gaps between our students — our Black and Brown students and our white students. We recognize there’s a significant need to, again, address the needs for all of our students. We’ve started that work, and I’m really, really interested in continuing to see that work through.It’s exciting, but like I always tell people, it’s also pressure-packed.
I think another ... not so glamorous piece of work is again keeping our schools safe. We’ve had some recent challenges with school shootings [in Texas], and we really want to be able to make sure as our students and families and teachers come to our buildings that they feel safe and can take advantage of that safe environment to learn.One of the obstacles that we have, of course, is that we’re done with COVID, but we’re not done with COVID.
