Fort Worth ISD's state-appointed board will consider more job cuts at a meeting Tuesday night — as well as the possible closure of a school for refugee and immigrant students.
This comes after the district announced staff cuts as part of a restructuring at 25 schools. The district is also trying to recruit new teachers and is raising teacher pay by 5% next year.
Ale Checka is a teacher in Fort Worth ISD who’s been vocal about academic issues in the district, and she joined KERA's Miranda Suarez to give her take on what the state takeover should look like.
