Ramsey submitted her voluntary resignation last week after the mayor of Fort Worth and other community leaders criticized the district's academic performance. She officially resigned from her role as superintendent on Oct.1 but did not resign from the school district.

Ramsey is still technically employed by Fort Worth ISD as the ‘ambassador for public relations.’ However, she is on paid leave until August 30, 2025, and will receive her full benefits until then.

Ramsey will officially depart from the district on September 1, 2025. The agreement allows her to work outside the district while she is on leave.
