Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee and 26 other members of Congress wrote a letter to the President and Secretary of the Department of Education asking for Federal Intervention on the Basis that the takeover is a violation of the civil rights of the students of HISD, reports say.In the release from the Congresswoman, it states the decision of the TEA Appears to be discriminatory against a large minority School District when other school districts in the State are challenged with rating problems.
That is why I, along with my colleagues sent a letter today to President Biden and United States Department of Education Secretary Miguel Cardona, calling upon them to take immediate action to investigate the alarming and apparent systemic and discriminatory state takeovers of public and private programs receiving federal funds from the U.S. Department of Education throughout the State of Texas.
The Biden Administration has a commitment to protecting and growing a strong public school system in America. I believe this is impacting that commitment and undermining the public school education of America’s children. We need help in Texas."
