As the Austin Independent School District faces a $92 million deficit-- district leaders have laid out ways to reduce expenses.
In order to bring and keep money in-house, the district said they will be eliminating 55 vacant positions, and reorganizing positions in various departments. When that number increases, the state gives those schools more money, "If our attendance increases by 1%-- that's $4.5 million ," said Montgomery.
