Admittedly, I have not read everything there is to read on this subject, but I feel disappointed that the school districts affected did not receive the help they needed before a school had a failing grade for five consecutive years. Does anyone know what actions TEA took before this step? Did they offer help that was accepted but didn't help or offered help that was not heeded or maybe not offering help at all?
We all know there are a million factors in having a "successful" school (and subsequentially school district).
What does everyone else know about this?

The Texas Education Agency is replacing the elected school boards of the Beaumont, Connally, and Lake Worth school districts, Education Commissioner Mike Morath announced Thursday. The takeovers add to the growing list of districts subject to state interventions, which also includes two of the state's largest: Fort Worth and Houston. The Fort Worth school board has said it plans to appeal the commissioner's decision, which was announced in October.
