Texas may take over Fort Worth ISD over persistent academic failure, replacing its board with state appointees.
Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath is set to announce a potential state takeover of Fort Worth Independent School District due to years of academic underperformance, including a school failing for five consecutive years—a trigger under state law.
If approved, the state would replace the district’s elected board with appointed managers, though the fate of Superintendent Karen Molinar remains unclear.
The decision follows Morath’s August visit and promises of change, despite district claims of progress, including fewer failing schools and improved academic ratings.
The move, expected after a press conference, could mirror past interventions like Houston ISD’s, where rapid improvements followed state control.
Community groups oppose the takeover, advocating for local school governance.
