We want
All Students
to achieve their dreams

The HISD Board promised to put our children first but they didn't keep their word. While members of the HISD Board of Trustees were fighting with each other, more and more of our children paid the price. Year after year, thousands of our children have been trapped in failing schools, and we got excuses, not leadership.
TEA has started the process to install a Board of Managers for HISD, which will allow us to put our children first.

Why Support Change

Why Support Change

Under Texas law, if any school district has even a single school which receives a substandard ranking for five consecutive years, the Texas Education Agency must remove the elected Board and place the school district under state control to reform management and leadership practices.

TEA announced the rankings for every school and school district on August 15th, and Wheatley High School in HISD received a substandard grade for the fifth year in a row, which triggered a state-mandated leadership change for HISD. Houston For Tomorrow is leading the public call for change because we can’t wait any longer to help our children.
