A focal point of both versions of the proposal are safety upgrades, something many parents have called for in the wake of the Uvalde school shooting.

Austinites got a first look Tuesday night at a massive bond proposal from Austin ISD, aimed at modernizing schools and making them safer. In fact, this is the largest bond item ever put forward by the school district.

"We want everything for our kids, but only have so many resources, so tonight we get a chance to talk through two of the bond proposals and talk about how we can stretch those dollars," said AISD Interim Superintendent Anthony Mays. "Vestibules are a very good way of improving security," said AISD Operations Officer Matias Segura. "So that anybody that comes in who isn't a student has to go to an administrative space can't go into student space without going through double security."

"We're trying to invest in communities, to promote these schools to the best of our abilities," said Segura.
