Texas Takes Over Houston School District, Raising Concerns for Education Control

Texas state officials are taking over leadership of Houston Independent School District, sparking concerns from educators about state government overreach and the decision's impact on schools. The state's Education Agency is enforcing one of the largest school district takeovers in the history of the U.S., with some educators saying they're uncertain about their futures. The move breaks from precedent in the state, which normally opposes state mandates, instead leaving decisions up to the school districts. Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee is calling for a federal civil rights investigation, and some are worried that TEA can't be trusted.
