US EditionTexas Education Agency Extends Houston School District Takeover Through 2027
- On Monday, the Texas Education Agency announced it will continue its state intervention in the Houston Independent School District, extending its authority until June 1, 2027.
- The extension was announced after a thorough assessment of the district’s progress and input from the community, coinciding with the completion of two years since the intervention began in summer 2023.
- Houston ISD reported marked academic progress, including 170 schools rated A or B in 2024, up from 93 the previous year, and Wheatley High improved from failing ratings to a B.
- Commissioner Morath said two years was insufficient to fix decade-long district issues and emphasized the need to meet exit criteria involving school ratings, special education compliance, and board governance.
- The takeover extension intends to build on progress toward lasting student success under current leadership, while critics express concerns about community engagement and reform impacts.
