Texas Education Agency to Assume Control of Three School Districts
December 12, 2025 - 04:57
In a significant move, the Texas Education Agency has announced plans to take over the Lake Worth, Connally, and Beaumont Independent School Districts. This intervention follows the agency's earlier decision to assume control of the Fort Worth Independent School District in October.
The state’s actions are part of a broader strategy to address ongoing challenges within these districts, including academic performance issues and governance concerns. Officials believe that state oversight will help implement necessary reforms aimed at improving educational outcomes for students.
The takeover is expected to involve appointing conservators who will oversee district operations and work closely with local stakeholders to develop and execute improvement plans. This decision has sparked discussions among educators, parents, and community members about the implications of state intervention in local school governance.
As the situation unfolds, the Texas Education Agency remains focused on ensuring that all students receive a quality education, regardless of the challenges faced by their respective districts.
