Story is from March but they reported it on my morning local news so it was the first I'd heard of it. HISD is the largest school district in Texas. Apparently the TEA has taken over school districts in Texas 7 times since 2000. Is this a case of a snake eating its own tail? I don't know what's worse, the woke school board or the woke 3-letter agency grabbing up power. I'm on my way out the door but plan on looking into this more
HISD is shockingly bad. My mom moved us to the burbs over 45 years ago to escape. At this point, everyone that could afford to leave HISD already has. We gotta fix this for the kids who's parents can't afford to run away. Oddly enough, every ISD bordering HISD is really good. The narrative kind of writes itself.
My mom moved us to SBISD in 1978 from Arkansas specifically for the school district. Thankfully it still was good while my 5 kids went through it
