San Antonio ISD selects new superintendent amid concerns of state takeover

Summary by The Houston Editorial Desk · Based on reporting by Steven Ardary, FOX 26 Houston · July 21, 2026 · 1 min read

San Antonio ISD on Monday night finalized its selection of Dr. Adrian Bustillos as its next superintendent of schools.

Why this matters in The Houston

The selection of a new superintendent in San Antonio ISD comes at a time when school districts across Texas, including those in the Houston area, are navigating the complexities of state oversight and potential takeovers. As Houston ISD, which serves the small incorporated city of Houston, faces its own challenges and uncertainties, the experience of San Antonio ISD may offer valuable insights. The fact that San Antonio ISD was able to finalize its selection of Dr. Adrian Bustillos as its next superintendent suggests a level of stability and autonomy that not all districts in the state can currently claim. The outcome of San Antonio ISD's efforts to improve under new leadership will likely be closely watched by educators and policymakers in Houston and beyond, as they seek to understand what strategies may be effective in avoiding state intervention and ensuring the long-term success of their schools.
