AUSTIN (KXAN)—The Austin Independent School District will start a conversation Tuesday about the future of a now-closed school campus in East Austin. The district constructed Sims Elementary School in 1956 at 1203 Springdale Road. It merged Sims with Norman Elementary after the 2020-2021 school year and shut down the campus on Springdale, according to AISD. The district wants to know what the community is thinking about the eight acres the Sims campus occupies. The district plans three virtual meetings to generate future ideas for the Sims campus. Those recommendations will go to the AISD Board of Trustees, the district said.    The first meeting is Tuesday from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. with Cara Betrone from the City of Austin about the city’s draft Equity-Based Preservation Plan. That plan will replace Austin’s 1981 historic preservation plan. The second meeting is May 21, and the third meeting is June 25.
