(The Center Square) – The Texas Education Agency is taking over three more public school districts: Beaumont ISD, Connally ISD and Lake Worth ISD. This brings the total to four this year and five overall.
State law requires the TEA to take over failing school districts after a campus receives failing academic ratings for at least five consecutive years. In each case, TEA Commissioner Mike Morath has chosen to replace superintendents and school boards.
