Gerry Monroe addresses the HISD school board during the discussion portion of the regular HISD school board meeting regarding the upcoming transition to a Board of Managers on Thursday, April 13, 2023 in Houston.Members of the Houston ISD board of trustees peppered a Texas Education Agency representative with questions about the upcoming takeover at a public meeting Thursday that lasted late into the night.
The presentation included information about the timeline of the takeover, the process and exit criteria for transitioning back to elected control, and the role of the elected trustees after their powers are suspended. Elected officials will be encouraged to remain in place as advisors to the board of managers, Lecholop said.Several trustees raised questions about transparency and validity in the application and selection process for the board of managers.
Lecholop said all decisions about programs and procedures will be made by the superintendent and board of managers after they are appointed by Morath, adding that it is not the agency's intention to charterize the district. Lecholop did not provide an answer, instead pointing to a successful track record in other Texas districts that have been governed by a board of managers.Earlier in the meeting, more than a dozen teachers, parents and other community members took the podium or called in via Zoom to speak out against state intervention in the district. Many expressed concerns about accountability, transparency and ulterior motives by the state agency.
