"In her bid for the governor's seat, Rep. Gina Hinojosa is advocating against school closures and school district takeovers."

"The Texas Education Agency (TEA) today announced the resignation of Houston ISD School Board Member Michelle Cruz Arnold following three years of dedicated service to the district and community."

"When Houston ISD closed 12 campuses this school year, it marked the district’s largest mass school closure in at least two decades, records show.  In total, the state’s largest school district has closed at least 60 campuses since 2005, including at least 15 HISD-affiliated charter campuses.   Since the 2016-17 school year, HISD’s enrollment has hemorrhaged more than 47,000 students. But the board didn’t vote to close any traditional campuses en masse — until this year. HISD did not respond to a request for comment for this story.   Like HISD, many Texas school districts, including Aldine, Spring and Fort Bend ISDs, approved major school closures this year amid budget challenges and declining enrollment. Texas reported its first statewide student enrollment decline in nearly four decades this school year, outside of the pandemic, according to analysis by Texas 2036."

"TEA officials on Thursday denied the district’s request to approve a partnership to run its three chronically failing schools that would have put a pause on the campuses' accountability rating.  Austin ISD’s effort to stave off a possible state takeover suffered a major setback Thursday after the Texas Education Agency rejected the district’s plan to hand three struggling middle schools to an external nonprofit operator.  In a letter sent Thursday to Superintendent Matias Segura, TEA officials said Texas Council for International Studies failed to demonstrate a record of turning around campuses with repeated failing accountability ratings and, in some cases, partnerships with the nonprofit had produced worse academic outcomes.  District leaders applied for the partnership in March under the SB 1882 program, which can shield campuses from certain state sanctions when districts turn over operations to outside organizations."
