Beaumont ISD superintendent says district turnaround needs community support

Superintendent Sandi Massey delivered that pitch during a neighborhood meeting, where the focus was not on typical local concerns such as potholes or code violations, but on what she described as the future of Beaumont’s children. Massey said the challenges facing Beaumont ISD are bigger than the school district itself and that improving student achievement will take a communitywide effort.

Dallas County DA argues elections official should be dropped from LULAC lawsuit over voter purge
Dallas County has asked a federal court to drop its top elections official from a lawsuit filed by the League of United Latin American Citizens. Dallas district attorneys recently filed a motion to remove Elections Administrator Paul Adams from the suit, arguing that he "has not violated any federal or state law, and has complied with the procedures set out in Texas Election Code." LULAC, Texas LULAC, LULAC's Dallas chapter and Common Cause alleged in a federal lawsuit that Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson and elections administrators across the state violated the National Voter Registration Act. The lawsuit, filed in March, says that Texas adopted a “troubling voter purge program that relies on unvetted, outdated citizenship data to remove voters from rolls in ways that are discriminatory and non-uniform across counties.”

Appeals court rejects effort to defend Texas law offering in-state tuition for undocumented students
A federal appeals court on Thursday rejected an effort to defend the Texas Dream Act, leaving in place a ruling that ended a longstanding state law that allowed some undocumented students to pay in-state tuition at public colleges and universities. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said advocacy groups, Austin Community College and a student could not step into the case to defend the Texas Dream Act because federal law bars states from giving undocumented students a tuition benefit based on residency unless the same benefit is available to all U.S. citizens, regardless of where they live.

TAD’s reappraisal freeze under discussion after Tarrant homes overtaxed, no change in sight
Tarrant Appraisal District board members are split on whether to consider changing the property appraisal process after acknowledging that the current plan delivered less equitable tax bills to homeowners. The board discussed the possibility of undoing the reappraisal plan they voted to continue using in 2025 that switched residential property appraisals to a two-year schedule instead of the typical annual plan while capping tax increases at 5% per cycle. The June 10 discussion came nearly a month after it became public that 190,000 to 200,000 homeowners potentially received overvalued property tax bills. No action was taken during the meeting to change the reappraisal plan.

Austin ISD’s top 30 highest-paid employees: Superintendent Matias Segura tops list
Superintendent Matias Segura — and other high-ranking employees in the superintendent’s office — were among the highest-paid employees in the Austin Independent School District in the 2025-26 fiscal year, according to public records. Segura is also the second-highest-paid superintendent in the Austin area, according to an analysis of regional superintendent contracts. Last school year, he earned a few thousand dollars less than the Lake Travis ISD superintendent, who oversees a smaller district with around 11,000 students compared to Austin ISD’s 69,000. Chief of Staff LaKesha Drinks, the second-highest-paid AISD employee in the 2025-26 fiscal year, earned about $150,000 less than Segura. Drinks has been with the district for two decades, previously serving as the principal at Guerrero Thompson Elementary and later the executive director of school leadership, where she supervised and evaluated all principals in the district.
