Fort Worth ISD Superintendent Angelica Ramsey's performance is under the microscope as the community demands change in the district.

Fort Worth ISD Superintendent Angelica Ramsey voluntarily resigned late Tuesday night after board members met to decide the school leader's future.

Sources close to the discussions between the board and Dr. Ramsey, tell us the two sides planned to release only that brief joint statement together, but after Martinez shared her thoughts, Dr. Ramsey did too, releasing a lengthy document outlining her successes in the district, and involvement in the community.

But the STAAR test was reconfigured that year, and TEA self reported that scores would drop for most districts.

"Instead of clearing obstacles out of our way so we can do the job you hired us to do, you have micromanaged us into a state of demoralization, you have laid the blame for the chaos and lack of achievement in the district at our feet," said another speaker.
