News Story

Ahead of football's biggest game this weekend, we have some big news from the 2022 Bond as we lay the groundwork for the future of athletics in Austin ISD. 

• LBJ and Northeast early college high schools will be the first of many fields to be renovated with artificial turf. 

Let's go back: As part of the 2022 Bond Program, Austin ISD comprehensive high schools will receive artificial turf and other athletic field improvements.

• We originally aimed to complete the first few fields by the end of Summer 2024, but design challenges and permitting took longer than expected. 

• We've worked with the City of Austin for the last year and a half to resolve any issues and get permits to move forward.

The bottom line: We now anticipate the majority of fields to be completed by the end of 2025, with a few wrapping up in early 2026.

• Check out the latest schedule for all comprehensive high school campuses.
