Texas Education Agency to Appoint Conservators for Austin ISD Special Education Department.

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) plans to appoint conservators to oversee the Austin Independent School District (AISD) due to the district's failings in serving students receiving special education. The TEA found that AISD had "systemic issues" in its special education department, failing to evaluate and provide services to eligible students. AISD is currently facing a lawsuit over its special education practices. The TEA's move comes two weeks after it announced it would replace Houston ISD's superintendent and school board with its own "board of managers" due to poor academic outcomes.
