At last night's TEA info meeting, HISD constituents made it clear they don't like the takeover or the Commissioner of Education.
Those in attendance knew what they wanted to talk about, whether it was on TEA's agenda or not.Texas Education Agency plans for a neat and tidy transfer of information about how to apply for a board of managers position in the TEA takeover of Houston ISD were hijacked Tuesday night by a crowd of very unhappy people and U. S. Rep Sheila Jackson Lee.
And those were the nicest things said at the meeting in the Westbury High School spacious auditorium. More to the point there were accusations that TEA had failed at its takeover efforts in the North Forest ISD and Beaumont ISD so why should it think it would be any better at HISD? Also voiced at high decibels: “You are stealing our community,” “Mike Morath has never taught Black children.
Asked whether TEA was going to bring a lot of charter schools to HISD, Delgado threaded the needle by saying TEA would not be doing that at all. That anything like that would be the decision of the board of managers and the new superintendent expected to take over the district in June. The board of managers and the superintendent will be appointed by Morath, whose reputation is that he is a strong charter school supporter. Audience members didn’t miss the nuance.
Damning Delgado with faint praise, Jackson Lee said the deputy director was just doing his job, just doing what he and Commissioner Morath believe is right. Then she explained to him “the anxiety” of teachers, parents and other district employees about the change.
