From Houston Public Media:Houston ISD will be under state control for at least two more years, the Texas Education Agency announced Monday. TEA Commissioner Mike Morath wrote in a news release that “local feedback” and a “comprehensive evaluation” of the district led him to the decision. He also is replacing four of the nine HISD board members he installed in 2023. “Ultimately, two years has not been enough time to fix district systems that were broken for decades,” Morath said.
