How much power do they need?
According to an article in the El Paso Times the Texas Education Commissioner has “elevated” his previously appointed monitor of the El Paso Independent School district “to what the state refers to as a conservator” who “has the power to overrule the district’s interim superintendent and the school board“.
There is also an on-going legal battle. The commissioner wants to install his own board of managers. Cato wrote about this in Disenfranchised. The whole process negates our right to choose who leads the district.
What does the commissioner want? According to the article “[he] has said that it may not take long for the board of managers to wrap up their work”. Evidently there is some plan of action already in place.
Is there something that the commissioner wants the school board to do, or to stop doing?. If the conservator can overrule the school board why not act now?
Are there people that need to be punished? Are there changes that need to be made? Can we start doing better right now? Are we sacrificing our children’s interests over a political power struggle?
What are we waiting for?
We deserve better
