Austin ISD Schools Face State Takeover | San Antonio News

Two Austin middle schools, Burnet and Webb, are on the brink of state takeover after receiving their fifth straight failing ratings — triggering a law that could shut them down or replace their school boards. Meanwhile, Dobie Middle School narrowly avoided crisis by earning a D, pausing its accountability clock, while the district overall improved to a B. Despite months of effort — including a denied nonprofit partnership — the district now faces a September 8 deadline to appeal the ratings, with final decisions expected in December. Past interventions include Houston and Wichita Falls, and Austin leaders say they’re still fighting to avoid drastic action.
