Texas Attorney General's Office investigating Austin ISD over student walkouts - KVUE



Here are the key points from the video:

• Austin high school students are staging walkouts, marching from school to City Hall in protest, despite district leaders urging them to stay in class

• Students face unexcised absences for walking out, but the district won't refer them to truancy court over a single absence

• TEA and Attorney General's office are investigating AISD over the walkouts, with AISD being the only district under AG investigation

• Educators could lose teaching licenses if they facilitate walkouts, and districts risk state takeovers according to TEA

• AISD maintains it doesn't support or encourage walkouts but says it cannot physically restrain students from leaving campus

• Students vow to continue protesting until "the system changes or until people start listening," showing no signs of stopping despite consequences
