Crockett Elementary parents feel 'blindsided' after learning HISD principal was forced to resign

Rosie NguyenParents from at least two HISD schools protested outside their campus Monday morning after their principals were forced to resign.Parents from at least two Houston ISD schools protested outside their campus on Monday morning after their principals were forced to resign. The district said the decisions were made due to performance, but two in the latest group that received the boot were awarded HISD's Elementary and Middle School's Principals of the Year in 2023.

Silva said the announcement blindsided her after attending a Feb. 6 community meeting, where a district official was recorded on video saying that she "didn't see any reason to replace an amazing principal." "The irony is not lost on me as I was at the banquet to be honored for being Principal of the Year almost exactly a year ago," she wrote in a public post on her Facebook page.

In a statement to ABC13, an HISD spokesperson wrote in part, "In most cases, if a school has an A or B rating, that is a strong indication that the principal is creating the kind of learning environment students need. When a school is rated C or lower, it often means the school is not serving students well on a consistent basis."The district did not answer additional questions about how many principals have been asked to resign and how many they plan on letting go.
