Why this matters in The Fort Worth
The T3 Partnership's new CEO, David Saenz, faces a critical task in preparing Fort Worth students for the city's growth, which is expected to bring new opportunities and challenges. As the city continues to expand, it's crucial that students are equipped with the necessary skills to fill emerging jobs and contribute to the local economy. The T3 Partnership's work with over 40,000 students in multiple school districts, including Fort Worth, Crowley, Castleberry, and Arlington, will be vital in achieving this goal. With three additional Tarrant County districts set to join the partnership next year, Saenz's leadership will be instrumental in scaling the organization's impact. His experience working in the Fort Worth and Irving school districts, as well as his role in founding the Mayor's Council on Education & Workforce Development, suggests he has a deep understanding of the local education landscape and the needs of Fort Worth students.
