State-appointed managers in Texas takeover school districts brace for imminent removal

Appointed school board managers in some of Texas’ districts under a state takeover said Friday that they are preparing to be out of a job as soon as January. Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa campaigned to stop state takeovers in public schools and to replace Texas Education Agency Commissioner Mike Morath with an educator on her first day in office, which would be Jan. 19. The new commissioner could immediately change the governance of the eight districts that were taken over by the state because campuses persistently failed academic standards.

Voters say 'no' to CFISD school tax rate hike for improvements

Voters in Cy-Fair ISD were asked to decide whether to increase the school tax rate, and so far, most rejected all five ballot propositions. If passed, homeowners would have seen a nine-cent property tax increase. Cypress-Fair ISD also sent bond approvals to vote. Proposition B, the $1.3 billion bond, would have paid for school improvements and safety. Props C through E would have funded everything from technology to stadium improvements. “We are grateful to everyone in the CFISD community who participated in this election, took time to learn about the propositions, asked questions and shared their perspectives,” Dr. Doug Killian, CFISD superintendent of schools, said. “We accept our voters’ decisions. Our next step is to listen carefully, reassess our options and keep our community involved as we determine a path forward.”
