Some questions remain about what the landscape will look like for HISD teachers and staff after the TEA takeover., some questions remain about what the landscape will look like for teachers and staff now that the Texas Education Agency has officially taken over the district.
Last week, Houston ISD began conducting interviews for openings at those NES schools. On Wednesday, it held a job fair at Delmar Fieldhouse that was extended to all 275 schools in the district, although not all of them participated. It was not the first job fair held since the TEA takeover. William Solomon, HISD's executive director of talent acquisition, said some of the positions they were hiring for at the job fair recently became available under the implementation of NES. Other positions, he said, are vacant for multiple reasons, including a critical shortage in competitive positions such as special education or bilingual education.
Despite all the changes under the new leadership for HISD, Solomon says they saw anywhere between 300 to 400 people show up at the job fair. Some recruiters offered on-the-spot hiring, mainly aimed at teaching positions, but also offered for nurses, counselors, librarians, general clerks, and more.
