According to the Texas Education Agency, 13 Dallas ISD schools were rated exemplary in 2006; the number of recognized schools increased from 42 in 2005 to 67 in 2006.
The current superintendent, Dr. Michael Hinojosa, has made local headlines for his desire to improve the performance and financial oversight of the district.

School uniforms
Dallas ISD has implemented mandatory school uniforms *for all elementary and middle school students (through 8th grade) on most campuses starting in the 2005-2006 school year.
Elementary and middle school campuses which do not follow the DISD uniform policy continue to use their own mandatory uniform codes, which were adopted prior to the 2005-2006 school year.
Uniforms are optional at the high school level; eight traditional high schools and three alternative high schools have adopted them.
