HOUSTON-Texas Education Agency officials made their final case for closing North Forest ISD, while district leaders countered that the school system has improved but is being held to an unfair standard. The TEA’s chief deputy commissioner, Lizzette Reynolds, will issue a final ruling Monday, April 1st on whether to annex North Forest ISD into neighboring Houston ISD. The district is seeking the TEA’s approval to partner with a nonprofit management board that would run a mixture of charter schools and traditional district schools.
