A TEA representative could barely get a word in during the meeting as people yelled at him through a megaphone, demanding for his boss, Commissioner Mike Morath.
A crowd at the second HISD takeover meeting appeared rowdier, barely giving a TEA representative the chance to speak.Less than 10 minutes after Texas Education Agency Deputy Commissioner Alejandro Delgado started Wednesday night's community meeting at Chavez High School, the community took over.
"As a kid with ADHD and autism who has accommodations, I feel like the TEA is a threat to my accommodations, my special education," 12-year-old Fraser Cardea, who also said the TEA would probably be over HISD until he graduates high school, said. ABC13 has contacted the TEA multiple times, asking about his whereabouts and any plans for him to travel to Houston to speak to community members. We have not received a response.
