Just weeks after TEA's intervention of HISD, state officials say Austin ISD is next

State intervention in both districts would look different. In Houston, TEA Commissioner Mike Morath intends to suspend the powers of the superintendent and elected trustees by June 1 and appoint a new superintendent and nine-member board of managers to govern the district for an undetermined amount of years.

In Austin, meanwhile, the trustees and superintendent would remain in place while conservators would work with the special education team to"ensure we’re meeting the needs of our students who are referred to be evaluated for disabilities or who receive special education services," according to a"We are focused on our students, and we welcome collaboration with TEA to help us catch up on long-overdue evaluations.

Austin ISD has a right to appeal the conservatorship. The district is holding a special public meeting at 6:45 p.m. Monday.
