Make your voice heard

The Houston ISD is considering several changes to its budgeting structure and to the magnet system that would have a negative impact on T.H. Rogers, as well as the most sought-after public high schools that our students attend upon completion. 

The changes are being considered to close a $200 million shortfall and to improve "equity" among schools.

The proposal under consideration would take Rogers out of the magnet system and would eliminate more than $440,000 in magnet funding that is used to help pay for several critical staff members, as well at training and materials. The budget proposal also eliminates most of the funding the school receives for its gifted-and-talented population.

Rogers' families need to advocate to make sure HISD's unique portfolio of schools continues to thrive so students can develop to their fullest potential. We believe equity means serving ALL students at EVERY academic range and providing for all populations' unique needs. We also believe the magnet system benefits the entire city by attracting diverse socioeconomic levels to public schools.

Make your voice heard --

EMAIL your HISD trustee (or all the trustees) to let them know how much you value school choice within HISD and how much attending a magnet school has helped your children. If you would support a tax rate increase to better fund our schools, please tell them so. If you would opt to move or send your child to private school if magnet schools lose more funding, please tell them that!

JOIN the Facebook group "Parents Against HISD Magnet Change Proposals and Centralization" for more information. 

READ about the proposals, starting with this article and this column.

Thank you for being an advocate for our school!
