Lake Worth ISD has begun its first full school year under state control. On the first day, students at Marine Creek Leadership Academy were energetic, with many not following instructions to walk during a physical education exercise. The district's superintendent, Ena Meyers, observed the scene and interacted with Principal Pharah Hogan.

This moment reflected Meyers' goals for the school year, including active student engagement and prompt correction of issues. Further details about the first day of school and the district's operations under state control are available from the Fort Worth Report.
