Addressing Underperforming Schools

• 🎯 Fort Worth ISD Superintendent Dr. Karen Molinar has a plan to address seven underperforming campuses.
• ⚠️ These schools are at risk of a state takeover due to consecutive failing ratings from the TEA.

TEA Resource Campus Model

• 🏫 The plan involves placing these schools under the TEA's resource campus model for the 2026-2027 academic year.

Reapplication Process

• 📝 All administrative staff, including principals and assistant principals, will need to reapply for their positions.
• 🧑‍🏫 Some certified teaching positions will also require employees to reapply.
• 🚫 Custodians and some front office staff will not need to reapply.

Additional Resources and Support

• 💰 Campuses designated as resource campuses will receive additional staff members.
• 📈 These additional staff will also be strategically compensated.

Communication and Next Steps

• 🗣️ Dr. Molinar plans to share the names of the affected schools and further details with parents of students at these campuses.
• 🗓️ A presentation to the school board is scheduled for September 23rd at district headquarters.
