Fort Worth ISDs New Leaders Aim for Literacy Boost, Equality: A State-Appointed Board of Managers, led by Superintendent Peter Licata, took over the district on March 24, 2026, following a partial takeover due to poor performance. The board, with the support of the NAACP, is focusing on improving literacy rates, particularly for African American students, and ensuring equity in resources. They approved a strategic plan targeting a 50% third-grade reading proficiency rate by 2029, aiming to make Fort Worth ISD the best in Texas for all students.
