OK, Matthias, I know you thought this job would be challenging, but I don't think you thought it was going to be this hard.

Yeah.

You know, so I took over as interim in 2023 and we were coming out of a period of disruption.

You know, we had three superintendents in a year and a half.

The pandemic had just happened.

We were losing staff.

It was a really difficult place to be.

The question on everybody's minds right now is what will the Texas Education Agency do now that the failing grades at Burnett and Webb Middle Schools require state intervention? And what possibilities is Austin ISD preparing for?
