\nAustin ISD faces possible state takeover <\/p>\n
Austin ISD confirmed that it faces potential state intervention<\/a> after both Burnet and Webb middle schools received “F” ratings for the fifth straight year. AISD said heading into the new school year, it is taking steps to accelerate improvement at struggling schools, noting that it has changed leadership at Burnet and Webb middle schools and has made scheduling changes that will result in daily instruction in math and language arts.<\/p>\n The district has also consolidated six campuses that received a D or F rating.<\/p>\n For now, the next steps<\/a> for the Austin ISD remain uncertain. KVUE reached out to the TEA about what could come next, but a spokesperson said the agency was unable to comment at this time. We did, however, speak with two other Texas districts<\/a> that are already under state control to see what those takeovers have looked like.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Out of 37 public school districts, five received an overall A rating, 18 received a B, 11 received…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":407448,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133],"class_list":["post-407447","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-austin","tag-austin","tag-austin-headlines","tag-austin-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=407447"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407447\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/407448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=407447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=407447"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=407447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
