Urgent action needed for Dobie Middle School as Austin ISD navigates separate consolidation talks (En español)
Austin ISD must consider some difficult options for Dobie Middle School after an appeals court dismissed the lawsuit blocking TEA from releasing its 2023 “A-F” school accountability ratings.
Why it matters: Texas has the ability to take serious actions against school districts that allow a school to fail for five years in a row, including but not limited to assigning a Board of Managers to oversee the entire district, replacing the current locally elected board.

Public Facility Corporation
In Texas, a Public Facility Corporation (PFC) is a nonprofit entity that facilitates the development of mixed-income housing. PFCs have the authority to construct, acquire, and rehabilitate multifamily residential properties. They are governed by Chapter 303 of the Texas Local Government Code, which grants them broad powers to finance and provide public facilities. Recent legislative changes have introduced more rigorous requirements for multifamily housing developments, including new reporting requirements and tenant protections. The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs oversees compliance monitoring for PFC developments.
In April 2023, the Austin Independent School District Board of Trustees approved the formation of the Austin ISD Public Facility Corporation.
