Austin ISD has not had a permanent superintendent since July 2022 when Dr. Stephanie Elizalde left for a position with the Dallas Independent School District.
The current interim superintendent is Matias Segura, who took over from the previous interim superintendent Dr. Anthony Mays. Dr. Mays accepted a position with Alief ISD last November.
In March, the Board had voted unanimously to extend Segura's contract through June 2024 while they searched for the next superintendent.
