First Day Under State Leadership | Texas News

Superintendent Ena Meyers kicked off Lake Worth ISD’s first day under state leadership with boots on the ground, touring campuses and stepping in to correct real-time classroom issues—like students not using “walking feet.” Her hands-on approach prioritized instructional rigor, especially for students behind academically. At Marilyn Miller Language Academy, a key catalyst for state intervention, she praised teachers and collaborated with principals like Francis Anderson, who coached staff live. Challenges emerged too—crowded classrooms at Collins Middle School and teacher shortages of materials—but Meyers framed these as systemic failures, not personal shortcomings. Administrators scrambled to fix them, learning as they went. Comparing the district’s start to a toddler learning to walk, Meyers acknowledged stumbles but underscored one unwavering goal: every student must learn.
