Director of Planning
Austin ISD
Austin, Texas
Melissa has over 20 years of planning experience, having worked for city municipalities and a K-12 school district of over 75,000 students. She currently serves as Executive Director of Implementation and Communications for the Austin Independent School District where she oversees the implementation of the district's Long-range Plan, which includes over 450 strategies. Most recently, she led the multi-departmental long-range planning process which took a comprehensive look at the educational experience, guided by an Equity by Design model. The process centered the experiences of the most historically underserved communities to create the conditions for all students to thrive in the school system and was the basis for the district’s $2.44B bond program that was overwhelmingly supported by the voters in November 2022.
