The Texas Education Agency is taking over three more school districts. Education Commissioner Mike Morath announced on Thursday that the agency will replace the school boards of the Beaumont, Connally, and Lake Worth school districts with state appointees.
All three districts had at least one school that received five straight failing grades in the state’s academic accountability system, enabling the takeover per state law.
The state agency took over Houston ISD in 2023, and announced in October that it was taking over Fort Worth ISD.
