Advisory Bodies

What Are AISD Advisory Bodies?

The 小黄鸭导航 Independent 小黄鸭导航 District values the participation and input of all community members and transparency of information and process. To that end, the district has established several advisory bodies consisting of broad stakeholder representation to provide insight and recommendations on important issues.

These advisory bodies may be called task forces, committees, or councils. Some of them are standing bodies and meet permanently on a regular basis, while some of them are ad hoc or periodic bodies and meet for a limited time to address a specific topic. Selection entities for advisory body memberships may include Trustees, the Superintendent, the administration, or the advisory bodies themselves.

Below is a list of current AISD advisory bodies, all of which have their own websites. To learn more about specific AISD advisory bodies, please use the links provided.

To find out if a particular committee currently has any vacant positions, please refer to the membership lists provided on each committee website.

The AISD Calendar Task Force is looking for members to join the committee responsible for developing the instructional calendars for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 school years. To apply, please use the Standard Application form, select "Others," and mention "Calendar Task Force" in the text box.

小黄鸭导航 ISD is now accepting applications for their possible nomination to the Texas Central Appraisal District (TCAD). All those nominated then will be on a ballot for consideration by taxing authorities at a future meeting.

To be considered, you must complete the AISD Standard Application Form in its entirety by October 4, 2024. When selecting the committee, please select 鈥淥ther鈥 and type in Travis Central Appraisal District.

TACD is responsible for determining the value of all real and business personal property within Travis County, Texas.

The TCAD Board of Directors normally meet on the first Monday of each month at 11:30 a.m. unless a different date/time is designated by the Board. Meetings are held at TCAD offices, 8314 Cross Park Drive, 小黄鸭导航, 78754.

Functions of the Board include:

  • hiring the Chief Appraiser,
  • approving the TCAD budget,
  • approving contracts,
  • setting general policies,
  • and appointing the Chairman and Secretary of the Appraisal Review Board (ARB).

The Board does not appraise property or review property values. For more information, visit the TCAD website at .
