The Texas Education Agency made its long-awaited visit to Fort Worth ISD on Thursday as the school district faces a potential state takeover .

After visiting three FWISD campuses, TEA Commissioner Mike Morath spoke at William James Middle School, which has been an F-rated campus since the 2021-2022 school year.

Morath addressed the TEA possibly taking over the school district, saying the decision will come in about three months.

"Our job is to make sure you have access to a great school," Morath said.

Morath said he observed classroom instruction from third to seventh grade in English and in math. He said he sat with teachers to watch their planning process and to get a sense of their approach to curriculum design.
