TEA Rep Tells HISD Trustees They Are Valued But As Of June 1, Access to Legal Protection and HISD Email is Over

The TEA's Steve Lecholop lays out the plans for the departing Houston ISD board of trustees.A wary group of about-to-be former Houston ISD trustees met with Texas Education Agency's deputy commissioner for governance Thursday about the transition to an appointed board on June 1 and learned they will lose access to their HISD email and they will no longer have legal representation once they leave the board.

Board member Kendall Baker asked if the present board members would be accorded the courtesy of knowing who their replacements are before a general public announcement is made, and that was a no. The minimum number of years before the present board would all regain their seats would be five, Lecholop confirmed in answer to a question from Baker. That's if the district meets all TEA criteria after two years and then a thid of the board would be reinstated at one year intervals after that.
