Governor Abbott attacks HISD board - What's Your Point?
HOUSTON (FOX 26) - It appears the state's largest school district has drawn a very powerful critic in Governor Greg Abbott, who this week made his feelings known with a scathing attack on Twitter. The Governor wrote: "What a joke. HISD leadership is a disaster. Their self-centered ineptitude has failed the children they are supposed to educate. If ever there was a school board that needs to be taken over and reformed it's HISD. Their students and parents deserve change."
Governor Abbott's attack came in response to a Houston Chronicle ediroial which urged "resistance" to a take over of HISD by the Texas Education Agency.
