Effects of a District-Managed Restart Strategy for Low-Performing Schools in Texas. REL 2022-137. Study Snapshot
Regional Educational Laboratory Southwest
The Texas Education Agency offers grants for districts to implement school turnaround strategies at low-performing schools. Districts that receive these grants can implement a school turnaround strategy (referred to as a district-managed restart strategy) that includes replacing principals and teachers at schools that the district identifies as struggling and needing additional support. This Study Snapshot highlights findings from a study that used longitudinal administrative data and interviews with district and school leaders to examine implementation of the restart strategy and its effects on teacher and principal mobility, student achievement, and student attendance. From 2015/16 to 2018/19, 29 schools across four urban and suburban districts in Texas implemented a district-managed restart strategy in three cohorts: one district began in 2015/16, another in 2017/18, and two in 2018/19. State leaders can use the results of this study to make decisions about continuing to offer grants for districts to implement the district-managed restart strategy in their low-performing schools.
