In response to one X post, saying, “Austin ISD let kids out of school, with a police escort to, protest ICE at the Capitol” – Abbott responded, “AISD gets taxpayer dollars to teach the subjects required by the state, not to help students skip school to protest.”

AISD shared in letters to parents and on social media that the walkouts were not sponsored or endorsed by the school. In the message, the district said it would not stop students from participating and had officers present to assist with security.
