"I’m getting reports from several different sources that the state intends to take over HISD, and they intend to do it next week," said Turner. takeover of HISD could happen as soon as Monday, with the state, "replacing the entire board, replacing the superintendent and running, taking over the entire school district. I find that totally alarming," explains the mayor.
"I also call into question the motive behind a lot of this when the governor is currently on a tour touting voucher programs," adds Houston City Council Member Abbie Kamin. "When you take it, you now own it. If you take it and start breaking it up into charter schools, using vouchers and all this. You are destroying the public school education system."
Maybe you can present both sides of this argument, rather than the Democrat, save our public school Democrat donors system....
I can't believe turner is still mayor.
That's great news!
Hope they take over the voting apparatus as well
Great news!!!
It's about time!!
About time. HISD deserves this.
