Pearsall Independent School District is a public school district based in Pearsall, Texas (United States). In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency (TEA).[1]
History
By December 2015, the district had failed to meet academic standards for four years in a row.[2] Nobert Rodriguez, the superintendent, stated that turnover among teachers and staff had caused student performance to decline. The teacher retention rate around 2015 was 38%, and in 2012, the high school had five different principals.[3]
In November 2015, the TEA announced that it had revoked the accreditation of Pearsall ISD.[4] Pearsall ISD appealed the TEA's revocation of accreditation. If the appeal failed, the district faced closure by the TEA by July 1, 2016.[2]
In October 2016, Pearsall ISD was taken over by the TEA, with plans to replace the district's entire board of trustees and superintendent, citing years of "academically unacceptable or insufficient performances."[5] Pearsall ISD successfully appealed, and avoided a state takeover in November 2016, when the district was able to meet academic standards.[6]
