      He was appointed by the state after HISD (Texas’s largest school district with 276 schools) had A SINGLE SCHOOL (Phillis Wheatley AKA not even 1% of the whole district) received a poor grade from the state education board for 5 consecutive years or more. The state removed elected school board members and the super indendant to have them replaced by the state government.
