KXAN Investigates -- E62: Austin ISD left vulnerable for state takeover (May 30, 2026

from KXAN Investigates · host KXAN News

The Texas Education Agency on Thursday denied the Austin Independent School District’s request for a two-year pause in accountability ratings for three of its academically struggling middle schools. The decision means that if any of the three campuses earn another F rating, the entire district could be at risk of a state takeover, including a state-appointed superintendent and a board of managers taking over district operations. This week on Inside the Investigation, Investigative Reporter Kelly Wiley explains why the state denied the district’s application and lays out what could happen next.
