Texas Takes Over Houston's Schools: A Three-Year Report
Description
Texas Takes Over Houstons Largest School District: A Tale of Takeovers, Tensions, and Test Scores - In this episode, we delve into the three-year takeover of the Houston Independent School District by Texas, following chronic low performance at Phillis Wheatley High. The move has led to job losses, teacher resignations, and shrinking enrollment, with parents expressing concerns about unelected officials making decisions that impact their children, particularly those with special needs. Despite claims of improved performance, with 74% of schools now rated A or B and no failing campuses this year, enrollment has dropped, raising questions about the long-term sustainability of these changes.
