TEA plans takeover of Houston ISD as soon as next week, Mayor Sylvester Turner says
In 2020, HISD sued, and a Travis County district judge provided the district some relief by granting a temporary injunction, bringing the Texas Education Agency's plan to a halt. An appeals court upheld the injunction,The justices heard arguments from both TEA and HISD in October over whether Morath had the authority to appoint a board of managers to replace elected Houston school board members.
The state appointed Doris Delaney to be a conservator for Kashmere High School due to its low academic performance in 2016. HISD’s counsel argued that wasn’t enough to count under the law. The purpose of a campus conservator is to help make an improvement, and Kashmere High School now has a passing rating, HISD’s lawyers said in October.
Takeovers of Texas districts have targeted predominantly Black districts, including Kendleton ISD, North Forest ISD, La Marque ISD and Beaumont ISD. HISD will have a right to due process hearings, per state code. However, that hearing will be held by the TEA and overseen by a hearing officer the commissioner selects, making it difficult for school districts to get a ruling in their favor, experts said.
