The Houston Independent School District community is deeply saddened by the tragic and unconscionable loss of former HISD student George Floyd, who attended Jack Yates High School. We send our deepest condolences to Mr. Floyd’s family and friends.

As the Interim Superintendent of Houston ISD, I am committed to advancing - and achieving – educational equity in our communities of color. I firmly believe that a shift in the dialogue on race in our country begins in our classrooms, and this work will remain a top priority in Houston ISD.

I am hopeful that the conversations taking place today will result in meaningful changes for our future generations.
