Austin ISD is deciding whether to appeal the Texas Education Agency’s plan to install a management team to oversee the district’s special education department.
for a couple of years before Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath announced plans last month to replace the district’s superintendent and democratically elected school board.
Eric Ramos, an Austin ISD teacher who used to work in special education, said he does not think TEA oversight is going to help because what the district needs is more resources and staff. In fact, he said, the conservatorship could make it harder to recruit and retain employees. If the TEA appoints conservators, Austin ISD would pay their salaries. District officials expect two to three people to be appointed.
Kaminsky said Austin ISD wanted a monitor because the district does have detailed plans it began implementing this year to improve special education.
