Former Houston City Council Member Ada Edwards never forgot where she came from or who she represented. During her time as the District D Council Member, she worked to find solutions without compromising her beliefs and was steadfast in fighting to improve the lives of all Houstonians.

She advocated for affordable housing, social justice and community empowerment. She cared deeply about people living in historically under resourced and underserved communities.

Even after she left elected office because of term limits, Edwards remained active and dedicated her time to connecting people to education and employment opportunities, mentoring youth and working with nonprofit organizations.

Houston is a stronger city today because of Ada Edwards’ tireless advocacy and dedication to public service throughout the years.

May Ada Edwards Rest In Power.

Mayor Turner interviews with CNN on the TEA Takeover of the Houston Independent School District

This morning, I appeared on CNN to discuss the state’s takeover of Houston ISD.

This process has been without community engagement or any transparency. It is disheartening that the Texas Education Agency has yet to speak directly to parents or school children. This announcement is happening during their spring break, creating a great deal of disruption, anxiety, and stress.

This does not make good sense. And if the focus is on the kids, then you tell me how this benefits the kids. TEA is selecting the board of managers. So who are they? The state deserves an F on how they have handled the process up to this point. Just a flat-out F.

Under the current superintendent and school board, significant progress has been made in HISD. Forty of 50 former D or F-rated schools are in a much better s...
