Today marks the launch of Texas Scorecard's new podcast series: Exposed. Each season will be a deep dive on stories the cronies and establishment players don’t want told.

Amid stories across the country of rogue and corrupt school administration, Central Texans are experiencing—and exposing—a similar mess in their local school district.

Round Rock Independent School District is located in the northern suburbs of Austin, in a community long considered safe and far enough away from the notoriously “weird” and liberal capital city.

However, troubling stories have recently surfaced about RRISD officials including:

Abuse of power

Domestic assault allegations and investigations

Allowing boys in girls’ private rooms

Offering pornographic material to children

Blocking parents from public meetings, and even arresting concerned citizens.

Local parents are now waking up. And Texas Scorecard is exposing Round Rock ISD...

On the first two episodes of Exposed, released today, Jacob Asmussen set the stage for the myriad of conflicts taking place in the district, starting with the controversy surrounding Superintendent Dr. Hafedh Azaiez.

Even though Azaiez is currently under investigation by the state government, five of the seven school board trustees have sided with him against concerned parents. The latest series of events began this summer, when those five school board members controversially selected Azaiez as the district’s new superintendent. Community members objected, testifying that the board did the “entire superintendent search in closed session,” rushed the decision, and didn’t provide reasons why they chose Azaiez as the sole finalist.

Only two Trustees—Mary Bone and Danielle Weston—voted against hiring Azaiez, echoing frustrations about a process that lacked a public forum and expressing concerns that he did not show a consistent work achievement in previous positions.

You can check out episode one [[link removed]] here and episode two [[link removed]] here. What is happening in Round Rock ISD is not isolated. Texas has more than 1,000 public school districts. Do you know what's happening in yours?

If you enjoy these episodes, share them with your friends and neighbors. And be on the lookout the rest of the week, as we release the rest of the season! 🔒 Donate to Texas Scorecard 🔒 [[link removed]] Number of the Day
