Houston ISD braces for possible state takeover KPRC2
last year that a 2021 law — which went into effect after the case was first taken to court — allows for a state takeover. The law permits the TEA commissioner to replace a school board and its superintendent if one of its schools receives five consecutive years of failing grades.
Foreman said he became an organizer with Houston Community Voices for Public Education a year after his first child was born because he wanted to have a say in the education she will receive. Many of the attendees lamented the timing of the intended takeover, citing improvements in the district’s ratings in the four years since the TEA announced plans to take over the district and HISD sued in response. Ninety-four percent of HISD schools now earn a grade of A, B or C.said while the district was failing at one point, he questions why the state is taking action now.
