Key takeaway Further details on the takeover and the conditions for regaining control are available from the Texas Education Agency and local news sources, including ABC13 Houston.
Houston ISD's timeline for regaining control from the state may be impacted by the presence of low-performing campuses. The Texas Education Agency has set a condition for returning control to the district. The condition requires Houston ISD to address failing accountability grades at all campuses.
This must be done before the state will consider returning control to the district. Further details on the takeover and the conditions for regaining control are available from the Texas Education Agency and local news sources, including ABC13 Houston.
