· KRGV (NBC 5)
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has assigned Dr. Sylvia Ibarra as a conservator to the Lyford Consolidated Independent School District to oversee its turnaround efforts, particularly at Lyford Middle School. This appointment, communicated to staff and parents on March 2, is intended as a support measure rather than a punishment. Superintendent Dr. Michelle C. DeWitt highlighted ongoing initiatives to enhance student achievement and accountability systems. Preliminary data for 2026 indicates that the middle school is projected to earn a B rating, a notable improvement. DeWitt plans to request the removal of the conservator in August, pending official ratings.
