AUSTIN — Austin Independent School District has launched a public dashboard designed to give families and community members a clearer view of conditions at 29 schools with unacceptable state accountability ratings. Released Sept. 15, the dashboard tracks campus-level indicators including principal and teacher experience, teacher vacancies, student and staff attendance, parent-teacher association status and other measures. The district plans to update the information by the 15th of each month, with future updates expected to show academic progress compared with previous years. Many of the campuses listed are operating under either Turnaround Plans or Targeted Improvement Plans intended to help them meet Texas standards. Burnet Middle School and Webb Middle School stand out because each has received five consecutive unacceptable, or “F,” ratings. Under Texas accountability rules, that record can put a campus at risk of closure and can expose the district to a potential state takeover, including replacement of the elected school board with a state-appointed board of managers. The Texas Education Agency’s 2026 ratings were released in August. State law requires campuses receiving a second consecutive unacceptable rating to develop and carry out a board-approved turnaround plan. Campuses receiving a first unacceptable rating must submit and implement a board-approved Targeted Improvement Plan. The dashboard shows that nearly 27% of Burnet’s core teachers are eligible for a state Turnaround Plan, while the school has a teacher vacancy rate of 10%. Burnet also does not have an active PTA listed for the 2026-27 school year. At Webb, nearly 27% of core teachers are eligible for a state Turnaround Plan, and the teacher vacancy rate is nearly 13%. The dashboard lists the principal as having one year of experience and also shows no active PTA for the 2026-27 school year. The list also includes campuses that took in students after other schools closed. Bailey Middle School, for example, enrolled students from Paredes Middle School after the district’s trustees voted to close Paredes in July. Superintendent Matias Segura outlined the planned monthly updates during the district’s Aug. 27 regular voting meeting. The dashboard gives residents a way to monitor whether staffing stability, attendance and academic outcomes improve over time—information that will be especially consequential for schools facing state intervention and for families weighing how district decisions affect their campuses.
