District accountability ratings halted by county judge (En español)

The latest accountability ratings, originally slated to be released Aug. 15, have been blocked for the second year in a row after a Travis County judge issued a temporary restraining order in a new lawsuit against the Texas Education Agency. 

Why it matters: The goal of the A-F accountability system is to communicate school performance with families easily. However, the updated calculations, updated STAAR assessment and significant shifts in campus ratings could cause more confusion as families try to understand how well their schools are doing. 

CFO Eduardo Ramos reinstated, exits district in good standing (En español)

On Thursday, Aug. 15, Superintendent Matias Segura approved Chief Financial Officer, Eduardo Ramos’s return from administrative leave.

We received a letter from the District Attorney of Williamson County’s Office indicating that they do not intend to prosecute the charges related to his personal affairs. 

Ramos had previously submitted his resignation effective Friday, August 16 and he will part from the district in good standing. 

Ramos served our district for three years and we wish him well in his future endeavors.
