The Austin ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously to extend the contract with Interim Superintendent Matias Segura through June 2024 while they search for the next superintendent.
The board says this would give them time to meet student needs and time for systems to take root, having interrupted leadership would help.
"That's really shifted our thinking to what is the best way we can put the district in a good position, so that when we do hire the permanent superintendent, we're able to hand over a district that's ready for that person to lead," District 7 Trustee David Kauffman said before the meeting. "We need the right people in the right positions to start rectifying the past issues first.
"There are some things he is lacking, because he does not have that experience," one public commenter said. The original tentative superintendent search schedule said a finalist would've been named by May 2023.
