That’s right. Houston schools are removing libraries to repurpose the space for disciplinary centers. School jail.<\/p>\n

I guess juvenile detention paid for by the city\/state isn’t enough and now school tax monies must also be tapped to reinforce failure. I hope the taxpayers punish them in the courts and at the polls, voting down tax issues and replacing board members. Plus, they can sue for misuse of funds.<\/p>\n

This doesn’t\u00a0 count the civil rights suits lawyers will file on behalf of students put in what is basically a jail without due process rights and representation by a lawyer.<\/p>\n

“Teachers at these schools will soon have the option to send misbehaving students to these discipline centers, or \u201cteam centers\u2019\u201d \u2013 designated areas where they will continue to learn remotely.<\/strong><\/p>\n

News of the library removals comes after the state announced it would be taking over the district, effective in the 2023-24 school year, due to poor academic performance. Miles was appointed by the the Texas Education Agency in June.”<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
