Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath faces a decision on intervention for a school district. The district, which has around 70,000 students, is at risk due to poor academic performance at two of its schools. Commissioner Morath has two main options: closing the underperforming schools or replacing the current leadership.

This type of state intervention has been used in several districts, including some large ones. Further information on the potential outcomes and the commissioner's decision-making process is available from the source, providing more details on the situation and its possible consequences.
