Show Notes
Lake Worth Independent School District, facing years of low test scores, has handed control to the state. Superintendent Mark Ramirez has resigned, and the school board has approved staff cuts as part of a campus overhaul. The layoffs target Marilyn Miller Language Academy, the districts lowest performer. The district is restructuring under the Accelerating Campus Excellence model, backed by a state grant. Board members showed deep emotion over the vote, praising Ramirez for his work. Teachers and parents voiced support for Ramirez, noting early gains like better test scores and structured lesson plans. Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath ordered the takeover in December, planning to install a new superintendent and board of managers this spring. Ramirez, who started last May, feels proud of the relationships built and student gains started.
