The Battle for Control: TEA Takeover of Houston ISD and Texas Schools

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) will appoint a board of managers to temporarily replace the locally elected Houston Independent School District (HISD) board of trustees due to repeated low student performance at Phillis Wheatley High School and allegations of misconduct by previous trustees. The board of managers would be in charge of the school board’s duties, which include approving a school budget and tax rate and setting district policies in areas like school safety and instruction, as allowed under state and federal laws. The TEA has replaced a district’s school board and superintendent with a board of managers seven times since 2000.

Controversy Surrounds Texas Takeover of Houston School District

Texas officials have announced a state takeover of Houston's public school district, the eighth-largest in the country, due to allegations of misconduct by school trustees and chronically low academic scores. The move has angered Democrats who view it as political and argue that past outcomes show little improvement following state interventions. The takeover deepens a high-stakes rift between Texas' largest city, where Democrats wield control locally, and state Republican leaders who have sought increasing authority.
