HOUSTON (CN) — Over the fierce objections of Houston leaders, the Texas Education Agency announced Wednesday it will appoint managers to oversee Houston Independent School District.
TEA Commissioner Mike Morath sent a letter to HISD’s Superintendent Millard House and nine elected trustees Wednesday morning, explaining state law mandates intervention and he will name a new superintendent and board of managers for the 273-school district, the largest in the state and eighth-biggest in the nation, around June 1.
“To best support the students, teachers, parents and school community of Houston ISD, I am appointing a board of managers to the district as an intervention action required by law,” Morath wrote.
