The All Female HISD School Board in a Surprise Move Chose Millard House as the Lone Finalist for the Superintendent Position


“Yes it’s true – Millard House was unanimously chosen by the all female HISD Board as the lone finalist for the Superintendent of Public Schools position. However, Gerry Wayne Monroe the “5 Star General” and a whole bunch of other local leaders – who I won’t mention in this report, were left scratching their heads. Some of the folks I talked to felt like the HISD Board Members should have chosen a Hispanic male, or Latina woman for the position! Especially since the HISD student body population is over 61.84% Hispanic, only 22.4% African American, and only 9.67% White. But that’s a story for another day. “What did they like so much about Millard House that they didn’t like about Dr. Grenita Lathan?” asked Gerry Wayne Monroe, the “5 Star General”. According to Monroe, “Dr. Lathan was good for kids – especially Black kids. And the blatant disrespect that was given to her was unbelievable,” in his opinion. “God made sure that Dr. Lathan and I crossed paths – and I’m grateful for that honor. She listened to my concerns for our African American schools. And yes, I gave her hell and she gave hell back to me,” he explained. “Hell, I can appreciate a good, fair, and above board fight when it comes to fighting for my children. But, through it all, I have nothing but mad respect for Dr. Lathan,” he went on to say. “Thank you for helping our kids Dr. Grenita Lathan. Now go to Springfield and show them why you are great.” But he didn’t stop there. The “5 Star General” had a stern message for all those Dr. Grenita Lathan haters out there: “Now, for all of you who didn’t like Dr. Grenita Lathan, she will forever belong to the Black community of Houston.”

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

I know for many of you it’s hard to believe, but the all-female (HISD) Houston Independent School Board selected an African American male as the lone finalist to serve as the HISD Superintendent. Can you believe that? Nope, this isn’t fake news!!! In case you haven’t heard, Millard House will be the new superintendent for HISD. That being said, I really don’t mess around too much with HISD school district matters. But, my good friend Gerry Wayne Monroe, better known as the “5 STAR GENERAL” does. And according to a “HOOD CNN REPORT” issued by the “5 STAR GENERAL” he’s really not impressed with Millard House being chosen to serve as the new superintendent. Why? Well, if you didn’t get a chance to see the report he released yesterday – click here! Now, for those of you who don’t know, Gerry Wayne Monroe, the “5 STAR GENERAL” is seeking one of the five Houston Independent school board seats that will be on the Tuesday, November 2, 2021, general election ballot. He will be seeking the District IX position that’s currently being held by Trustee Myrna Guidry, the trustee who was unanimously appointed by the board to fill out the remainder of form Trustee Wanda Adams’ term. Now, for those of you who are wondering, the filing deadline to run for a seat on the Houston School Board this time around is on Monday, August 16, 2021. And just for the record, the District I, District V, District VI, District VII, and District IX seats on the HISD school board will be on the ballot.

(HISD BLOG POST)

After a lengthy process of gathering stakeholder input, a nationwide search that included a diverse pool of applicants, and a comprehensive interview process, the HISD Board of Education has announced Millard House as the lone finalist for superintendent of the Houston Independent School District

House currently serves as Director of Schools (Superintendent) of Clarksville-Montgomery School Systems in Clarksville, Tennessee.

HISD Board President Dr. Patricia Allen said House is a great fit to serve the district as its next leader.

“As we regain our footing from a difficult year navigating the pandemic, it’s an opportunity to start anew and lay the groundwork for the important decisions and strategies we will need to implement to address the loss of learning and the mental and emotional toll our students and staff have experienced,” she said. “I am proud that our new superintendent will be inheriting a passionate, diverse, resilient team that is focused on investing in the whole child.”

House looks forward to working with trustees, parents, staff, students, and the HISD community on a shared vision of providing the very best educational experience for all students.

“I am excited to be joining Houston ISD and look forward to building on the district’s strengths and expand the educational opportunities for all students,” House said. The board will officially vote on the position at its June meeting. Pending approval, after the expiration of the 21-day period, House will begin his role as superintendent in June 2021.

"I don't know about you, but I had no idea that the HISD student body population was over 61.84% Hispanic. And for some reason I thought that the African American student body population was much larger than 22.4% these days. and were have all of the white kids gone? Am I the only one who didn't know that the white student body population in the Houston Independent School district was only 9.67% right about now?"

The “Sisterhood Series” Features 70 Powerful Texas Women You Should Know Who Are Doing Their Own Thing

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

I would like to take this moment to introduce our “SISTERHOOD SERIES” to you. This empowerment movement is being launched to highlight a few powerful Texas women who are doing their own thing in legal, political, and public relations fields throughout the Lone Star State. Now, while this powerful group of women is being brought to you as a corporate body, our “SISTERHOOD SERIES” should not be misconstrued as identity/gender politics in any way, shape, or form. Why? Well, all of the featured women in this series are (in their own unique way) some of the best and brightest women in America. So, recognizing these women as part of our SISTERHOOD SERIES” is our way of applauding each of them for their courage, tenacity, and ability to compete in what has traditionally been a man’s world.

TRUTH OF THE MATTER

If we’re honest with ourselves, we all know that women are still fighting an uphill battle in politics as well as inside boardrooms across America. So, let's not forget – it wasn’t long ago that women were guaranteed the right to vote. In case you don’t know, the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote was only the beginning of a much longer fight that women are continuing to fight on the campaign trail, in board rooms, and while living their everyday lives.

A VERY UNIQUE BOND

Each segment of our “SISTERHOOD SERIES” will highlight a “FEATURED SPONSOR” on the cover, and sixty-nine sitting incumbent Democratic and Republican members of the judiciary inside. So, as a community of women, each of the sixty-nine women featured as the “BODY OF THE SERIES” are linked together by their common successes in the rough and tumble world of Texas politics. Now, you can bet your bottom dollar, that some of these women will be endorsed by Houston Business Connections Newspaper©, in 2022 and 2024 “ELECTION GUIDES” when they appear on the ballot. However, unfortunately, some of these women will not make the cut. So, please do not forget that the deadline to run for political office in the “2022 MIDTERM ELECTIONS” is on Monday, December 13, 2021, in Texas. And, if you are a woman or man who is planning to run for office in 2022, you must sign up by Monday, December 13, 2021, at 6:00 pm. So, if you are not sure, what position you should run for in the Democratic Party Primary or Republican Party Primary, please call (281)788-3033, and I will try to assist you in any way I can.

MINISTERS OF JUSTICE

Every judge in America takes an oath of office and solemnly swears that they will administer justice without respect to persons and that they will do equal right to the poor and to the rich alike. So, the “MINISTERS OF JUSTICE” you see listed below, have all promised to faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon them under the United States Constitution and the laws that govern us as a free nation when they were elected. And each of them did so before the LORD God Almighty. Now, that being said, nowhere in their promise was their political party affiliation, sorority, socio-economic status, or ethnicity mentioned. So, let’s do our best going forward, to elect the “BEST AND BRIGHTEST” women and men who are committed to handing out even-handed justice to every person who enters their courtroom.

Nominating the Wrong Candidates on "SUPER TUESDAY" Could Have Disastrous Consequences in the November 2022 General Election in Harris County

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

Make no mistake about it, who the people of Harris County, Texas choose to give another term to in 2022 must be about substance, job performance, judicial temperament, competence, and whether or not our members of the judiciary are following the law with their rulings. And that being said, in 2022, it is incumbent upon the voters of Harris County to evaluate the job performance of each and every sitting "ELECTED OFFICIAL" on a case-by-case basis and not as a group based on their political party affiliation, ethnicity, or gender. 

THINKING ABOUT RUNNING?

If you are a candidate planning to run for office in 2022, you have to select the right candidate to run against. And the second most important thing to understand is that you have to select your race early, to avoid ending up in a crowded field of candidates on "SUPER TUESDAY" in Harris County, Texas. So, if you need assistance trying to determine which race to enter, please call (281)788-3033, and I will do my very best to answer any questions you may have.
