T.H. Rogers parents wonder if it's worth their time and effort to make a deal with HISD now, since TEA may come in. and cancel it.
How much longer will Superintendent Millard House II be with us and what does it mean either way for T.H. Rogers?Amid the furor, trepidation and angst about what looks like the incoming invasion of the Houston ISD by the Texas Education Agency – thanks to Mayor Sylvester Turner’s heads-up at City Council – one further complication arises.
This is of special concern to a small group of parents of special education students in the PSI program who after a Level Two hearing a couple weeks ago with the administration, remain unconvinced that the present administration is not going to boot them from the Rogers campus. So they’ve filed a Level III hearing request with the board.
A brief history: On November 15, Cindy Hoppman, executive director of HISD’s Office of Special Education Services, without any prior communication on the topic, wrote T.H. Rogers parents a letter saying their children would be sent to their home schools in the 2023-24 school year. Parents erupted, fueled in no small part by the wording of the letter in which Hoppman announced she was “excited” to share the news.
To begin with, the letter from Dr. Khechara Bradford, HISD’s Executive Officer. Specialized Learning and Services, included this key sentence: “T.H. Rogers School serves three distinct special programs.” "Relying on parent concern and the critical feedback received, HISD decided not to proceed with its PSI program transition planning process. Although HISD has the discretion to decide educational placement locations, HISD recognizes that parents were concerned by the PSI program transition plan. Therefore, HISD commits to keeping the community of PSI students at T.H. Rogers intact now and into the future.
Julie Beeson, mother of 15-year-old PSI student Beau Aubin said in years past the program would get four to five new students throughout the year. Other than a few students sent over from the Lawson/Wisdom special ed program, there were no other new additions this school year, she said.
