FORT WORTH, Texas — Fort Worth ISD kicked off its first day of school Tuesday with optimism from district leaders, even as the possibility of a state takeover looms .

The school board met Tuesday night to discuss implementing the Lone Star Governance program, a framework designed to prioritize student outcomes.

The move comes as the district awaits the release of Texas Education Agency’s (TEA) A-F accountability ratings, expected to be released to districts on Wednesday. The ratings could offer insight into the district’s academic standing and potential next steps from the state.

“We know we have a long way to go,” said Amanda Inay, a Fort Worth ISD teacher and parent. “It’s the future of our kids. That’s what matters.”
