Mayor Kirk Watson has released a plan to prevent the state from taking over a school district. The plan involves closing two middle schools that have received failing accountability ratings. These schools, Webb and Burnet, have triggered a state takeover law due to their poor performance.
The mayor's plan relies on a parent petition to close the schools, citing a little-known state rule. The schools received preliminary failing ratings for the 2025-26 school year, which could lead to state intervention. Further details about the plan and the potential state intervention are available, including the school district's appeal process and deadline.
