Breaking news -- TEA to take over Houston ISD after weeks of speculation - KPRC2 hounews HTX Texas
TEA Commissioner Mike Morath sent a letter to the Houston ISD Board of Trustees Wednesday morning after meeting with Houston-area state lawmakers at the capitol, notifying them of the agency’s intent.
The state’s takeover attempt started in 2019 after seven consecutive unacceptable ratings at HISD’s Wheatley High School and 50 HISD schools receiving D or F grades. “We’ve been in court essentially on pause for the better part of three years,” Morath said. “We are still required to intervene the same way that we were in 2019.”Morath said Superintendent Millard House II, who was elected by the school board in June 2021, has done a “tremendous job” and that he has asked him to continue to serve in a leadership role for the duration of the transition., Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio ISDs all received B accountability ratings overall from the TEA.
The TEA doesn’t want to see any more campuses with multi-year D or F ratings, he said, adding that the current system has allowed some campuses to have low levels of achievement for years. In districts where board of managers were placed for academic reasons, he said student achievement has gone up. “It is ultimately the statute that is requiring the intervention here and the statute is looking at how our students performing,” Morath said.Current state law is clear about what the TEA commissioner shall do when a campus has an unacceptable performance rating for five school years in a row: close the campus or appoint a board of managers.
