Dallas ISD’s Board of Trustees voted to join a lawsuit being filed by other smaller districts around the state challenging the changes being implemented by the Texas Education Agency this year.
On their last report card from the state, 21 Dallas ISD schools got Ds or Fs, something teachers and students worked hard to fix.
