Today: Westbury High School | Auditorium8501 Howard, Houston 770174400 West 18th St., Houston 77092application process for the board of managersABC13's Daniela Hurtado spoke to TEA commissioner Mike Morath last week when the takeover was announced about what he's looking for in the board of managers, who he wants in place by June 1.
"We want to make sure we have a very diverse decision making body. We want people with different life experiences. Some that have an education background, some that maybe have skills in finance... that they have different lived experiences because only when you have a sort of diverse group of people coming together can you then arrive at what are the best decisions to be made for kids," Morath said.
Under state law, it's ultimately Morath's decision to choose the board of managers, though, he told ABC13 that he won't be governing, they will. The requirements to sit on the board of managers include being an eligible voter in Harris County, not being convicted of a crime, passing a background check and filling out a conflict of interest form.Eyewitness News anchor Tom Abrahams is moderating our next Action 13 town hall, "HISD Takeover: What you need to know," this Thursday at 7 p.m.
