The Austin ISD board of trustees considers two big issues Monday night.
Board members will discuss whether to declare the district in a state of financial crisis.
The district faces an estimated $15 million budget shortfall for the 2010-2011 school year. Declaring financial crisis gives the superintendent power to cut dozens of administrative jobs, even those under contract.
The board will also discuss a timeline for dealing with low-performing schools, which could include closing schools and giving control to outside groups.
