Governor says state should take over Houston schools

Last week, Governor Greg Abbott had some harsh words for the Houston Independent School District.

He called the district leadership "a disaster" and said "their self-centered ineptitude has failed the children they are supposed to educate."

His tweet was in response to a Houston Chronicle opinion article that encouraged people to fight the Texas Education Agency to prevent a state takeover of the district.

On the Factor to discuss this is HISD School Board President Rhonda Skillern-Jones, HISD Board Trustee Dr. Sergio Lira and HISD Board Member Rhonda Adams.
