Houston ISD has been taken over by the state. Here's what to expect.

“I don't think that parents appreciate all of this stress and anxiety being put on their students when they’re getting ready to take exams," Turner said. As for TEA,"I give them an F on how they managed this situation.”State Rep. Harold Dutton, a Wheatley High alum, helped push through a 2015 law and an amendment to a 2021 law that made way for state intervention. After years of watching the school fail, the Houstonian said he felt he had to do something.

Legislators filed a bill last week designed to soften the triggers for state intervention and stave off an HISD takeover. However, Dutton doesn’t think this is the right move. Throughout state interventions, elected trustees are brought back on to the board at some point. Dani Hernandez, HISD Board president and District III representative, said she intends to run again despite the uncertainty in the district.

In 2019, Wheatley received its seventh failing grade, triggering the state law that would require the school’s closure or for the elected board to be replaced by a board of managers. This bought the district some time to get its affairs in order. In the 2021-22 academic year, Wheatley earned a C accountability grade. The district has a B. Most of the board, that had been involved in the various scandals that garnered the TEA’s attention, were voted out.

Texas seized control of Houston ISD on Wednesday, capping a four-year legal battle that some say is driven by conservative Texas leaders trying to push their agenda on the urban district.

Such a woke headline. How about “TEA takes over HISD due to complete ineptness by the school board and administrators”
