Good gawd these comments are hilarious, I have a lifelong friend who works in Houston ISD who is applauding this move bc of the exact mismanagement that has gone on for years. The only people who are complaining are the ones who ram the school district into the ground.
Oh and my friend is a Democrat.

It was 1 school used to seize the district.

The school is in one of, if not the most, poor area of Houston.

The school passed the state requirements shortly after the deadline it had to do so.

The state is still seizing the district. They have no ideas outside of archaic standardized testing.

Not cynical enough for a Monday morning just saying what happened.

Here's what comes next:

The City of Houston already voted to build green spaces and amenities for these poor areas. Once those are in the areas will gentrify and turn white. The residents sell and move to the burbs with the schools that all have natatoriums as Houston has a very competitive swimming culture baked into it when pools with racing lanes were built into all the emerging suburbs starting 50 years ago and the trend still continues today. The grades and funding in the gentrified area ends up goes way up. The State will declare victory at some point and spike the football for things they had nothing to do with.
