Lantrip Elementary parents plan protest over principal’s removal, call for transparency from HISD

Frustrated Lantrip Elementary parents will gather Wednesday morning to protest the abrupt dismissal of their principal, calling for transparency and stability in Houston Independent School District. The protest will be held outside the school on Nov. 20 from 7:15 to 7:45 a.m., demanding answers from Houston ISD regarding the sudden removal of Principal Valiza Castro. This marks the second principal turnover at Lantrip this year and comes amidst broader concerns about leadership instability, with a reported 70% teacher turnover rate since June.
