A F accountability ratings blocked again A Travis County district court once again blocked the Texas Education Agency from releasing its A F accountability ratings for Texas school districts and campuses Sept. 18. Over 100 school districts sued the TEA in 2023 over concerns that the new system would unlawfully lower their ratings for the 2022-23 school year. After hearing earlier in the week from the TEA and several school districts who sued the agency, Travis County Judge Daniella Deseta Lyttle issued a temporary injunction Sept. 18. The order continues to block the TEA from assigning A F performance ratings for the 2023-24 school year, which were set to be released Aug. 15. A full trial on the case has been set for Feb. 10 at 9 a.m. in Travis County.
The renovated stadium will feature a three-story women’s eld house.
