The Texas Education Agency has revealed its takeover plan for Houston Independent School District during a meeting Thursday morning.
That meeting was scheduled at 11 a.m. at HISD Headquarters and was open to the public.
The meeting comes after the district’s board of trustees held its final meeting of the year last week.
The transition sparked emotions from parents and HISD officials, and most of them said they will continue asking for transparency and informing the public throughout the process.
The plan included a presentation that explains the transition to a board of managers, replacing the current HISD board of trustees.
Superintendent Millard House was questioned on the current status of the district, and topics discussed included the budget, teacher salaries and how to improve student outcomes.
House and the entire HISD board are being removed.
The new board that will oversee the district hasn’t been appointed yet, but is expected to be announced on June 1.
In all, 463 people have applied for a spot on the board, while 225 of those applicants have already participated in the training.
On May 13, Mayor Turner tweeted a new superintendent was chosen, however, the TEA confirmed to KPRC 2 that a selection was not made at this time.
