CANUTILLO | A Premier District

The Texas Education Agency over the spring break announced that it would take over the Houston Independent School District and replace both its superintendent and board of trustees with an appointed Board of Managers. The main reason given for this action is chronic student underperformance at one inner-city high school. This most-radical of actions by the TEA is worrisome because it usurps local governance and oversteps state authority in the state’s largest school district.

Canutillo ISD this week received an amazing email. It’s one of those letters that truly make your entire day. That email from the Texas Education Agency let us know that our submission to become a Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) school district had been accepted.

Students and staff throughout the Canutillo Independent School District today are wearing their favorite orange gear in an Orange Out of the District. The purpose of this celebration is to cheer on the Canutillo High School Varsity Boys Basketball Team that will be playing in the Area Round of the Texas Playoffs tonight against Amarillo High School in Andrews, Texas. We hope seeing so many people wearing orange shows the team that they have a whole community behind them and that we are extremely proud of them! Go get them, boys and Coach Morales!
