Texas Education Agency is launching an investigation into Austin Independent School District

over their Pride Week back in March.

Officials confirmed it's ongoing, but they're keeping details close to the chest right now.

The event ran from March 23rd through 27th, themed around being you, Tiefel.

They rode out light activities like wacky socks, stay and mix it up lunches

to mix students from different backgrounds.

District leaders say it's all about building a safe, inclusive space for everyone, and

they've done this every year for the past 12.

They picked March since major Pride events hit in summer when schools out.

Austin ISD got word directly from the agency about the probe, but no one's saying what sparked

it exactly.

Meanwhile, diversity efforts in Texas schools face extra heat these days.

People watch how this unfolds, especially with education policies shifting under the

spotlight.
