Though the partnership was meant to delay a potential state takeover and bring fresh resources, the district vows daily operations and academic models will stay the same, with continued support for students. With new TEA ratings due in August, another failing grade could trigger full state control — and the district’s superintendent says this move ensures continuity as they build on last year’s changes.
