HISD's superintendent doesn't believe schools have what they need to be successful. He shared his goals for equity across all zip codes.
Oberg: But you gave me two choices: Laying off teachers or closing schools.:"It's a possibility. We haven't studied it as of yet, but I tell you what, as we go down the road, those are definitely possibilities."
Oberg: Houston's lived through that discussion before. Promise me it's different with Millard House at the helm, because it's ugly.:"Rightfully so. It's definitely a process. What I can tell you as I lived it and studied the San Francisco model, the Pittsburgh public schools model, it took us a full year to study it, shop it with the community, give feedback, get feedback, modify our plan, to come to a synergy where everybody was in the same space.
Oberg: Do you think you're going to get pushback from some principals when you start telling them how to spend the money that they historically have been able to spend on their own?:"Change is difficult. Change is absolutely difficult, but what I think our principals are understanding better is that with all the issues that HISD has seen, that we've inherited here in the last eight or nine months, that we have to do something different.
