The Austin Independent School District is facing a budget deficit of $181 million for next school year. That's according to the preliminary budget draft presented at a work session with board members on Tuesday night. The draft is an initial version of the budget used to guide decision making.

"We're no longer at a point where we can protect all things," Segura said. "The cuts are going to impact our ability to serve our students in a way we see best."
