Austin ISD Parents Face Midnight Deadline Over Burnet, Webb Closure Petition

Austin, TX, October 15, 2026 —

Parents within Austin ISD are facing a midnight deadline related to a petition seeking the closure of Burnet and Webb schools. The information available identifies the schools and the deadline but does not provide the calendar date or explain what action parents are expected to take before midnight.

It also does not identify who filed or organized the petition, how many parents or other community members have signed it, or whether the petition asks the district to take a specific step. The status of any closure proposal is not provided. The deadline alone does not establish whether the petition will be considered by district officials or what could happen after it passes.

No details are available about the reasons cited for closing the schools, the district’s position, or the potential effects on students, staff and families. The information does not say whether Austin ISD has scheduled a meeting, issued a public statement or set out a process for reviewing the petition. It also does not clarify whether the midnight cutoff applies to signing, submitting or taking another action connected with the petition.

As a result, the immediate development is limited to the reported deadline and the petition’s stated aim of closing Burnet and Webb. The exact date, the petition’s organizers and terms, and any response from the district remain unspecified. No outcome or next step has been provided.
