Overview
- The Texas Education Agency, which on Thursday appointed longtime educator Ena Meyers, put her in as interim superintendent on a 21-day contract during its takeover of the 3,200-student district.
- Commissioner Mike Morath also named five managers — Tom Harris, Amy Morgan, Ken Nichols, Mason Sneed, and Judy Starnes — who will assume governing authority from the elected school board.
- Once seated, the managers will handle core duties such as adopting budgets, setting policy, approving contracts, and overseeing the superintendent.
- Conservator Andrew Kim remains assigned to the district to oversee operations and report progress to the state.
- The intervention was triggered by Marilyn Miller Language Academy receiving five consecutive failing ratings, and the new team must end failing performance and raise reading and math results before local control can return.
