Members of the NAACP, joined by Houston city leaders and community members, held a march in front of Wheatley High School Saturday calling on the Texas Education Agency to keep its hands off Houston ISD.
The state’s argument for a possible takeover was Wheatley’s low accountability rating in 2019 and problems with the HISD school board that same year.
However, since then, voters have elected an almost entirely new school board and Wheatley’s state score has gone up to an ‘A’ from a ‘C’.
