Round Rock ISD Board of Trustees No Longer Under TEA’s Watchful Eye

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has recently announced the conclusion of the monitoring on the Round Rock Independent School District (RRISD) board of trustees. The monitoring came into effect in September 2021 following misconduct allegations against board members.

RRISD Superintendent, Dr. Hafedh Azaiez, expressed his gratitude for the TEA’s decision, citing it as an acknowledgment of the board of trustees’ collective efforts to improve their practices and serve the community better. The removal of the monitoring indeed represents a significant milestone for the district, underscoring the progress they have made.

It is worth noting that in December 2021, the TEA recommended placing Superintendent Azaiez on a paid administrative leave following allegations of assault. The Superintendent went on a brief leave. However, he was reinstated following a thorough investigation into the allegations.

The TEA’s decision to halt the monitoring is a significant breakthrough for the RRISD and a clear validation of the district’s efforts to improve its practices. In light of this development, the district intends to maintain positive momentum and continue striving for excellence in its core objectives of improving educational outcomes for the community.

The district’s journey towards achieving its goals has had its hitches. Nonetheless, the RRISD has demonstrated its capability and resilience in tackling these challenges head-on. Through the support of the community and the collaboration of stakeholders, the RRISD has set a path towards achieving its long-term goals and remains committed to fulfilling its duty to the community.

In conclusion, the halting of the monitoring of the Round Rock Independent School District is an encouraging development that highlights the district’s commitment to fulfilling its obligations to the community. The district has shown that it has the determination and capacity to overcome its challenges and is committed to the pursuit of excellence. The district can look towards the future with greater optimism, bolstered by its recent successes and more certain of its ability to deliver quality outcomes and make a positive impact on the community.
