State-appointed Houston ISD superintendent, board of managers to be named June 1
The new leaders will assume their roles immediately and will likely meet for the first time on June 8, said Steve Lecholop, the agency's deputy commissioner of governance, during a presentation at the last meeting of the HISD elected trustees.
The board of managers will be sworn in the same day as the announcement, Lecholop said. Meanwhile, the superintendent will begin working under a 21-day interim contract until he or she gets formal approval by the board of managers. The TEA representative said he expects and encourages the elected trustees, after they are stripped of their voting power, to engage with the new district leaders by serving as a liaison to the community, providing institutional knowledge and helping the board of managers develop its goals, vision and values.
Lecholop said all summer activities and programs are expected to continue as planned and district operations will hold steady.
