As the rumors continue of HISD being taken over by the Texas Education Agency, some people fear it could come with less money for teachers, fewer resources, and larger class sizes.
"With our democratically-elected school board, we have people who are accountable, people who know us," she said.
Anderson is also concerned that a state takeover could come with less money for teachers, as well as fewer resources and larger class sizes. The TEA told ABC13 it's possible that a superintendent could remain in power during such a takeover and that anyone appointed to the board will be culled from the local community.In the meantime, both Anderson and Antwine urge anyone not in favor of the state taking over its largest district to contact their elected officials and current school administrators.
"If we want changes, we need to have the parents in the board meetings. We have them in the basketball and football games. Why can't we get them at the board meetings?" asked Antwine. "That's the only way change is going to come."
