District looks at leadership changes for Mendez Middle
Mendez Middle School may soon be under new leadership as Austin ISD explores ending the partnership that manages the school. For the past four years, Mendez has been managed under an agreement with T-STEM Texas. Why it matters: If Mendez doesn’t score a C or higher in TEA’s accountability system in the 2022-23 school year, the school or even the district could be taken over by the state.
