There are strong feelings on both sides. Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee put out a statement overnight saying the TEA takeover is "unnecessary, unfair, and discriminatory."Houston ISD leaders will meet for the first time on Thursday since Mayor Sylvester Turner said a state takeover of the district is imminent. The takeover means the superintendent and board members who people voted for would be wiped out, and the TEA would choose their replacements.
The TEA would essentially clean the house by first removing Superintendent Millard House II, who's been in the job since 2021, and then wiping out the entire current board."The taxpayers of Houston ISD pay for that district, and they pay for it on a regular basis. Therefore, they should have a voice," Agustina Reyes, a former HISD trustee, said.
