"Controversy Erupts as Houston ISD Faces Principal Terminations and Teacher Protests"
Houston ISD principal Jessica Berry refused to sign a resignation agreement that would prevent her from working in the district again or suing it. Berry, along with other principals, faced ultimatums to resign or be fired due to performance issues. Protests have erupted as parents oppose these ultimatums, arguing that the district's evaluation criteria are too narrow and do not consider broader educational challenges, including the impact of COVID-19. Berry fears her career in public education may be over but stands by her decision to speak out.
