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.

Houston ISD takeover exit may speed up under newly elected Texas governor, experts say

Experts expect the Houston ISD takeover timeline to speed up following a change of power in Austin during the 2026 midterm election. Jessica Campos, an HISD parent, said she is hopeful but realistic about a potential end to the state takeover of the district following the election of Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa. "I also had lots of questions like how that transition is going to look, how long it's going to take," Campos said. Campos said the possible end of the takeover is not the only thing she is watching. From curriculum to special education, she said there is a list of education issues she feels need to be addressed. "Transparency has always been an issue, especially in HISD, and with this new governor, we're in hopes of having some transparency now," Campos said.
