The Texas Education Agency on Thursday appointed a conservator for the Fort Worth Independent School District and said it will go ahead with appointing a Board of Managers in the state's takeover of the district.

This comes after last week's informal review and a special meeting on Tuesday during which the Board of Trustees decided not to take any action regarding the state's takeover of the district, but voted unanimously not to change Superintendent Karen Molinar's contract, which goes until June 2028.

The appointed conservator, Christopher Ruszkowski, will oversee and support Fort Worth ISD's improvement efforts and report on the district's progress, effective immediately.

TEA will continue with the process of taking applications from interested candidates for the Board of Mana
