Hundreds of parents and those residing in the Houston community showed up for the third Texas Education Agency meeting that was held at Delmar Field House on Wednesday night.
The purpose of the informational meetings is to inform the community about the TEA’s process for appointing a new board of managers to lead the Houston Independent School District.
The TEA says the district is in the middle of a state takeover, because of unacceptable academic accountability. The meeting was held in a much larger space, but the session played out exactly the same as the last two meetings.This time the TEA actually handed the microphone over to the people demanding to be heard.Many community members are very upset because they say the agency is not giving them the information they want about the actual takeover.
“I’m interested to see what the TEA takeover is going to do for the teachers, and the students, and the parents,” said Sophia Fox, a student at Houston’s Heights High School.For this meeting, the TEA adjusted the session protocol to allow attendees the opportunity to ask questions directly to the presenter, Deputy Commissioner of Education, Alejandro Delagado, at an appointed time.”I think that the interruptions showed that the guy who they were talking to, wouldn’t answer questions,” said Fox.
