Texas takes control of three school districts due to years of poor academic performance.
The Texas Education Agency has taken control of the Lake Worth, Connally, and Beaumont school districts, replacing their elected boards with state-appointed managers and appointing conservators due to at least one campus receiving five consecutive failing academic ratings.
The move follows state law allowing intervention in districts with prolonged underperformance, citing low student achievement and systemic failures.
The state will appoint new superintendents and seek community applicants for the new boards, with the process expected to take several months.
This adds to a growing number of state takeovers, including Fort Worth and Houston, with Fort Worth planning to appeal.
The status of Wichita Falls, the fifth district initially flagged, remains unclear.
