When we began searching for a new education editor, we knew we needed someone with the perfect mix of energy, thoughtfulness and expertise to lead our reporters as they help Texans navigate a period of transformative changes in how the state prepares students for success.
We’ve found that perfect newsroom leader in Eva-Marie Ayala, who joins The Texas Tribune as our new education editor this week. Eva takes the role at a pivotal time of growth for our education team — we are about to strengthen our weekly education newsletter and are currently hiring a second K-12 reporter based in Houston.
