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]
