NAACP hosts 2nd meeting to discuss HISD’s TEA takeover

HOUSTON – The NAACP hosted a second community meeting Sunday afternoon to discuss the state’s takeover of the Houston Independent School District.

Community members and district administrators have held a series of meetings to discuss what possible outcomes may take place now that the Texas Education Agency is calling the shots.

In a series of meetings over the last week, some attendees attempted to get their points across by shouting over one another and using a megaphone.

The meeting was supposed to explain the hiring process per TEA’s guidelines for a new board of managers.

Parents with students in the district say they still don’t have the proper answers to their questions.
