Houston School Board Faces Criticism Over Teacher Turnover and Administrative Policies
- Meeting Overview:
Overview: During a recent meeting of the Houston Independent School Board, public comments revealed concerns from students, parents, and educators about the district’s current administration and its impact on educational quality and teacher retention. A large portion of the discussion centered around the district’s growing reliance on uncertified teachers, with the percentage rising from 12% to nearly 25% following the Texas Education Agency’s takeover in 2023. This shift was criticized for potentially undermining educational standards, as uncertified teachers may lack essential classroom management skills and teaching experience.
