Days after Texas’ largest school district began its first school year under a state takeover, a teachers union has sued over changes in how educators will be evaluated
, a teachers union has filed a lawsuit over changes being implemented in how educators will be evaluated.
During a meeting in Austin Wednesday of the Texas State Board of Education, Morath expressed his support for the work of Mike Miles, the new superintendent he chose to run the school district. Morath said that so far “a lot of very positive changes” have taken place. Morath had been criticized by some parents and teachers for not attending public meetings in Houston earlier this year that discussed the takeover.
Miles is “refusing to follow the law by shutting out the voices of teachers, parents, students and other community members and punishing educators in the name of streamlining the district,” union president Jackie Anderson said in a statement. During Wednesday’s state board of education meeting, several board members questioned Morath about the changes at these libraries, including the removal of librarians.Morath blamed concerns about the libraries to inaccurate media reports, saying the change to bring misbehaving students to an area where they can still get quality instruction is a “massive improvement.” He said the team centers will also be places for extra tutoring or for independent study for high-achieving students.
