Texas education officials are holding a press conference on Thursday that could determine the future of Fort Worth ISD, following months of warnings from the Texas Education Agency that the district could face intervention if student achievement and accountability ratings fail to improve.
Fort Worth ISD serves about 70,000 students across more than 130 campuses, with dozens repeatedly rated failing despite turnaround efforts, according to NewsRadio 1080 KRLD.
TEA has not confirmed a takeover, but recent actions in other districts, including Houston ISD in 2023, have fueled speculation.
