Brenham High School students tape Principal Michael Watts to wall after crushing food drive goal

BRENHAM — Brenham High School students turned a charity challenge with their principal into thousands of meals for local families this holiday season. The drive was organized as part of Washington County’s annual food collection in partnership with KBTX. Every year, the Brenham Independent School District challenges its campuses to come up with creative ways to incentivize students to donate canned goods and other nonperishable items. For the past few years, Brenham High School ran a competition between classes to see which grade could collect the most food. This year, student organizers wanted to raise the bar.

Texas school vouchers raise funding concerns for Black communities

As more state funding flows into private education, new data have raised questions about how these dollars impact public schools that serve primarily Black students. An analysis by the Texas Center for Voucher Transparency and Every Texan reports that 733 Texas school districts could lose nearly $300 million in state funding this school year. Through the state’s new voucher program, students are leaving for private schools or homeschooling. Since state dollars are tied to student enrollment, the students who leave public schools take those dollars with them.

Texas Education Agency orders Houston ISD to fix special education program or risk losing funding

The Texas Education Agency has ordered Houston ISD to fix its special education program or risk losing state funding, according to new reporting by the Houston Chronicle. The district's special education program has been a point of contention after HISD consolidated students from its regular campuses to a handful of schools earlier this year. Last week, the Texas Education Agency substantiated, in part, nine complaints against HISD. According to a letter, the agency found the district was wrong to move some students without first meeting with parents and making sure individual learning plans, also known as IEPs, were properly followed. The Chronicle reported that HISD failed to meet with all parents and was placed on a six-month action plan. Under that plan, the district must review 650 students' records to ensure they receive the right services, fix noncompliant IEPs, host town halls, train teachers, and create a parent advisory group. According to previous reporting by Eyewitness News, the state ordered HISD in May to meet with families affected by the consolidation. HISD said it did so, but the state found otherwise. Dina Kushaliyeva, a former HISD parent, said she lost faith that the district could do the right things for
