Just since 2020, the Texas Education Agency has installed its own hand-picked leaders in eight districts. Four of those came this spring. At least another 10 are at risk of takeover, including, as of last week, the Austin Independent School District.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/movingservicesamerica.com\/?p=250\">Alaska\u2019s Deteriorating Schools Could Receive More Than $148 Million for Repairs. It\u2019s a Fraction of What They Need.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And to lead some of these districts, Texas is turning to a cadre of officials with ties to Mike Miles, the man the education agency chose in 2023 to oversee the Houston school district, the state\u2019s largest. Miles is also a close ally of Mike Morath, Texas\u2019 powerfuleducation commissioner.<\/p>\n<p>Already, at least two of these new district leaders have started to adopt policies similar to the contentious reforms Miles has pursued in Houston. He has touted improved test scores under his charge. Houston ISD had no F-rated campuses and fewer D-rated campuses in the state\u2019s latest ratings compared with previous years. But Miles has also sparked widespread protests in response to the district\u2019s rigid adherence to scripted lessons and repetitive testing, the firing of principals and teachers, mass school closures, and the conversion of schools into charters.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Miles did not respond to requests for comment from the Texas Observer<em>.<\/em> Houston ISD officials, in a statement to the Observer<em>,<\/em> said the district did not achieve better ratings by maintaining the status quo but \u201cmade difficult decisions\u201d to improve academic performance, noting the majority of its campuses are now rated A or B.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These school districts whose new leaders have connections to Miles should prepare for \u201cupheaval and chaos,\u201d warned an elected Houston school board member.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cIf anything doesn\u2019t align with improving test scores, it will be taken away,\u201d said Maria Benzon, who was elected in November to the Houston ISD board but is not permitted to serve under the ongoing state takeover. Under Miles, for example, Houston ISD eliminated librarian positions and turned some libraries into what Benzon called \u201cdetention centers,\u201d because they are being used, in part, for students with behavioral issues. Morath, the TEA commissioner, has said the centers are used for more than just punishment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Texas law allows the TEA to take control of districts with multiple failing school ratings or governance issues and to replace their superintendent and elected boards.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The recent takeovers include Beaumont, Lake Worth and Connally independent school districts, whose new superintendents worked under Miles when he was superintendent in Dallas ISD; two of them also worked for him in Houston. In Fort Worth ISD, one of the state\u2019s largest districts, the new state-appointed superintendent chose Daniel Soliz as his second-in-command, another person who worked under Miles in Houston ISD. Soliz did not respond to requests for comment for this story.<\/p>\n<p>At least two of the state\u2019s new superintendent appointees \u2014 Sandi Massey, who now helms Beaumont ISD in southeast Texas, and Ena Meyers, TEA\u2019s appointee for Lake Worth ISD, a small district near Fort Worth \u2014 also worked for the controversial Colorado-based charter network Third Future Schools, which Miles led prior to becoming superintendent in Houston. In April, the Observer revealed that Miles had an ongoing $120,000 annual consulting contract with the charter network, an arrangement that likely violated a new statewide ban on public school administrators\u2019 moonlighting. After questions from the news organization, Miles canceled the contract. The district said Miles \u201cremains fully focused on leading Houston ISD and delivering results for students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Third Future\u2019s charter network is expanding around the state as districts turn campuses over to the nonprofit\u2019s Texas subsidiary, often as a means to delay possible state takeover. The nonprofit did not respond to the Observer\u2019s request for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>School district takeovers often involve layoffs, school closures and an increase in charter schools, as has happened in Houston, said Domingo Morel, an associate professor of political science and public service at New York University, who found Texas has had more district takeovers than any other state since 1989.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s unique to Texas, Morel said, is that the low bar required to take control has led to more takeovers. Since 2015, five consecutive failing state ratings at just one school can trigger a takeover, as occurred in Houston, which has 273 campuses.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Texas has also made it harder for districts to appeal these seizures. The Legislature passed a law in 2021 that barred districts from using public funds to challenge the education commissioner\u2019s \u201cfinal and unappealable\u201d decision to take them over. The threshold that  was also lowered. Then, in 2025, the state passed another law restricting districts from using public funds to sue the state when challenging its accountability ratings.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The state \u201cis the player, the referee, the coach, the scorekeeper,\u201d when it comes to rating schools and deciding when to seize control, said Steven Nelson, an associate professor of education policy and leadership at the University of Nevada who\u2019s been studying school takeovers for more than a decade. He said he suspects the TEA-appointed leaders connected to Miles will also focus on standardized testing, which will result in \u201ca narrow curriculum when all is said and done.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The acceleration of takeovers,and the state\u2019s increasingly stringent rating system, comes just as Texas rolls out a school voucher program that will, in most cases, award parents $10,000 in state funds to send their children to private schools. State accountability standards do not apply to private schools, where students don\u2019t have to take the standardized tests required in Texas public schools.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>TEA spokesperson Jake Kobersky said the agency does not expect the four school districts that have recently been taken over to adopt the same reforms that Miles implemented in Houston. \u201cDuring an intervention, state law requires the agency to appoint a new superintendent and a board of managers. All other staffing and operational decisions are made locally by the district,\u201d Kobersky said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>But last August, Morath told lawmakers other districts \u201cshould be copying the changes that we see in Houston.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Massey, the new superintendent in Beaumont, has also cited the changes in Houston ISD as a blueprint.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe model that we are implementing here is a very similar model to Houston. And why? Because of the success that Houston has had,\u201d Massey said at a May 21 board meeting, referring to her time working with Miles at Houston ISD, where he selected her to be chief of schools.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/movingservicesamerica.com\/?p=247\">California Teacher Previously Fired for Sexual Harassment Is No Longer in the Classroom After New Complaints<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Under Massey, the newly appointed board of managers voted at their first meeting to temporarily suspend a number of policies related to governance and hiring practices, including employees\u2019 rights to present grievances to the board and principals\u2019 ability to approve new hires without district permission. Board of managers member Jeff Wheeler said at the meeting, \u201cWe are requesting that they be suspended until the board can move, can more fully evaluate our local policies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The board has taken other steps that mirror what happened in Houston after the takeover there: On May 14, the district announced it was cutting 34 positions that support student mental health, and on May 21, it announced a high school would close.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Massey did not respond to the Observer\u2019s requests for comment about whether she\u2019s following the Houston playbook. Jackie Simien, a spokesperson for Beaumont ISD said, \u201cMassey has worked alongside successful educational leaders with demonstrated results in improving systems, instruction, and student performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Benzon, the elected Houston ISD board member, said Miles is sidelining parent and teacher voices in her district, and they are leaving in droves as a result. \u201cThey are trying to escape the New Education System and Miles\u2019 bad policies,\u201d Benzon added, referring to a program Miles transplanted from his former charter school network that is characterized by scripted lessons and repetitive testing. The Houston Chronicle reported the district \u201cis losing students at an accelerated pace\u201d under the takeover, spurring the district to shutter 12 schools ahead of the next school year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In its statement to the Observer, Houston ISD cited a survey of families reporting a \u201cfavorable perception\u201d of the district and said it retained many exemplary teachers.<\/p>\n<p>Nelson and Morel said they believe the ultimate objective of any takeover is to disenfranchise local communities. Black and Hispanic students make up the majority of the population at all four of the districts now headed by Miles\u2019 associates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt all begins at the school board level to then completely disempower the community,\u201d Morel said.<\/p>\n<p>On April 23, Houston ISD moved to fire a veteran teacher and president of the Houston Education Association teachers union after she protested requirements to comply with Miles\u2019 New Education System.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meyers, the new Lake Worth superintendent who at the time was Houston ISD\u2019s deputy chief of strategic initiatives, testified in favor of the teacher\u2019s termination.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do not allow our staff to make decisions about curriculum in a New Education System school or in Houston ISD,\u201d Meyers said, according to a transcript of the hearing. \u201cIf they are not following expectations, we would not allow them to stay in HISD as an employee.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Since taking over in Lake Worth, Meyers and the board of managers have temporarily suspended board policies related to governance procedures, hiring and employee assignments and schedules, similar to what Massey and her board did in Beaumont.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In response to the Observer\u2019s inquiries about replicating Houston ISD\u2019s reforms in her new role, Meyers wrote in an email that \u201cLake Worth ISD is very different from Houston ISD. We are a district of five schools serving a much smaller community, so our approach must reflect the unique needs of our students, staff, and families.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her email continued, \u201cI believe educators should learn from successful practices wherever they exist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As in Beaumont and Lake Worth, the takeover in Fort Worth ISD has been characterized by swift changes. After less than a month under the new leadership, the 68,000-student district has suspended local board governance and hiring policies and has cut dozens of staff positions, including those supporting English-language learners.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Parent organizer Zach Leonard said a new instructional model Fort Worth ISD is rolling out in 19 schools, called \u201cElevate,\u201d is essentially the same as what Miles has done in Houston, an assertion district spokesperson Tierney Tinnin refuted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Leonard, along with other parents with his organization, notes the similarities between the programs: \u201cscripted slide-by-slide lessons, rigid timed instruction, and \u2018demonstrations of learning\u2019 reduced to data points.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis isn\u2019t education reform,\u201d Leonard said, referring to Miles\u2019 model of learning being transported to Fort Worth. \u201cIt\u2019s a franchise being handed to our children without a vote.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/movingservicesamerica.com\/?p=244\">North Carolina Democrats Propose Changes to Block GOP Power Transfers and Secrecy<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since 2020, the state education agency has taken over eight school districts \u2014 four in just the past few months \u2014 and installed leaders linked to Houston\u2019s controversial superintendent, Mike Miles.
