outcry from segments of the community who view board members as little more than rubber stamps forThe public will get its first look Thursday at the new board of managers, which is made up of nine Houstonians appointed by the Texas Education Agency to oversee HISD on an at-large basis, replacing elected board members who each represented geographic areas.
Momanaee's recommendation as board president is expected to be ratified at Thursday's inaugural board of managers meeting. Ric Campos, a Houston business leader, was recommended as vice president, and Angela Flowers, a longtime teacher and school administrator who will teach at a private school in the fall, was recommended as secretary.
Some new board members do have experience in education, including within HISD. Flowers began her career teaching at Jesse H. Jones High School, and has worked at Cy-Fair ISD, St. Johns School, St. Francis Episcopal School and the Kinkaid School.
"My concern is that this whole thing is a red herring," Pauloski said."I know Morath is giving the sense that this is a board with some sort of functioning authority, some sort of independence, and I don't think so at all. I don't think that's true.
Adam Rivon, a member of the HISD Board of Managers, talks about his new role with the school system during an interview at HISD’s White Educational Support Center on Wednesday, June 7, 2023 in Houston.Board members said they will work to earn the trust of HISD families by spending the first several months of their tenure getting out into the community and listening to families about their needs.
