All 24 members of Austin Public Schools’ leadership team have requested a pay freeze that will save the district about $91,265 in 2009-10.

Interim superintendent Bruce Anderson made the announcement during a school board meeting Monday night.

“We are living in very difficult times,” Anderson said. “I think this sacrifice … says a lot about why students are doing so well in this district.”
