 Valenzuela, Angela <valenz@austin.utexas.edu>

Dear Editor:

Happy to invite your readers to several opportunities as follows:

  1. INVITATION: HISD Takeover Symposium, Tuesday, April 16, 2024, 4PM CST

Dear Students, Friends, and Colleagues:

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to this virtual symposium titled, “The HISD Takeover: What the Evidence Suggests.” The entire semester in our Policy Analysis class at the University of Texas at Austin has been an intellectual journey into the world of policy and politics that lurk behind what appears to be an increasing trend both statewide and nationwide of school and district takeovers. In the context of the papers, and thusly evidence, that our masters and doctoral students have amassed, our work advances knowledge and interpretations that we hope will be of particular use to the stakeholder community in Houston that is experiencing takeover.

 

Please fill out the Qualtrics survey that provides a Zoom link to the virtual symposium.
