Fort Worth ISD superintendent’s contract under review
FORT WORTH, Texas - Fort Worth ISD school board members are expected to weigh in on the superintendent’s contract on Tuesday night.
Superintendent Dr. Angelica Ramsey is under fire from the community.
Last month, Mayor Mattie Parker presented a letter backed by 40 community leaders, including members of the Fort Worth City Council, expressing their dissatisfaction with the district’s STAAR test results.
Fort Worth ISD is now 11 percentage points behind Dallas ISD and 14 percentage points behind Houston ISD.
When accountability ratings were released earlier this month, the district fell from a B in 2022 to a C for this past school year. Those ratings are largely based on how students performed on the STAAR test.
The majority of the people who spoke at a special school board meeting last week blamed the superintendent, while others don’t believe she deserves the criticism.
