North Austin middle schools are kicking off the year with a sense of urgency and hope. After years of low academic ratings, Dobie, Burnet, and Webb are rolling out new plans, extra funding, and intensive teacher training to avoid a possible state takeover. Many teachers and students are feeling the pressure, especially with so many staff changes, but there’s also a strong sense of community and determination. Summer camps helped students get a head start, and teachers are working overtime to make sure everyone is ready. How do you feel about these changes? What would help your school thrive? #Education #K12 #NorthAustin
