HISD Eastwood Academy leaders abruptly reassigned, district hints safety concerns

According to the school’s website, there are approximately 400 students at Eastwood Academy, who are now without a principal, assistant principal, and counselor mid-school year.

"These are our kids, not theirs. This, in reality, is still my son, not HISD’s kids," said Linda Rodriguez. Rodriguez said she and her son, Joseph, who's a senior at Eastwood Academy found out the news after school on Tuesday. Parents and students were apparently sent an e-mail about the staff transitions but were not provided an explanation from HISD.

Linda says she immediately requested an emergency meeting to discuss her son’s future, as Joseph was in the midst of applying for colleges.

She knows these kids personally, she knows their dreams, knows what they were looking for. Now they could have someone else come in but is it going to be the same?" Linda continued.
