TEA moves to replace Hearne school board, superintendent
The TEA has notified the Hearne school board that it will be replacing trustees with a board of managers.
The school district has the option of contesting the decision by April 13. If the decision is upheld, the Texas Education Agency will open applications in the community for a board of managers, which will resume the responsibilities of the board.
The board will then be responsible for replacing superintendent Adrian Johnson. In the meantime, Hearne ISD monitor Patricia Hayes has been moved to the position of district conservator.
The decision comes after the TEA Special Investigations Unit found various infractions during an on-site investigation last year. The investigation process began last year after the TEA received complaints about the management of the district.
