Texas Schools Turnaround with Third Future
Description
Eight Texas school districts face state takeover due to academic failures. Wichita Falls Independent School District avoids this fate by partnering with Third Future Schools, a nonprofit led by Mike Miles. This collaboration has reduced failing campuses from twelve to five in three years, saving the district from full state control. The partnership receives millions in state funding, with Hirschi Middle School alone getting $400,000 monthly. Next year, Third Future will manage two more elementaries, and a state conservator will monitor progress for two years. The district hopes STAAR test scores will validate their improvements, securing local control.
