State Rep. Gina Hinojosa, D-Austin, says she is aware of Austin ISD’s shortcomings regarding special education but believes the district is on the right track after electing four new board members and putting an interim superintendent in place this past November.The Texas Education Agency said it will move to appoint conservators to oversee the Austin Independent School District, citing the district’s failings in serving students receiving special education.
Austin ISD’s board of trustees said in a statement Friday evening that conservators selected by the TEA would work with the district to provide special education services to students with disabilities. The board also said the district has a right to appeal the conservatorship, but did not state whether it would do so.
The announcement comes two weeks after the TEA announced it would replace the Houston Independent School District’s current superintendent and the school board with its own “board of managers” in response to years of poor academic outcomes.
They’re already banning books. They’re trying to take guns from trans people. They’re removing women’s bodily autonomy. Fascists are out here
Good. It , like many ISD boards have become intoxicated with billions confiscated from homeowners to build empires while forgetting education.
