The appointment comes at the invitation of the embattled charter network's board after several mishaps in recent months.
Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath appointed a conservator to oversee Great Hearts Texas amid an ongoing investigation into allegations including failure to report employee misconduct and failure to complete criminal history verifications.
In April, an undisclosed number of Great Hearts Texas employees were sent home after the TEA found that fingerprints were not properly filed as required by the state. Board members voted that same month to invite state oversight. “In light of recent events, the Great Hearts Texas Board has taken a proactive step by inviting the TEA to appoint a conservator for HR compliance,” the statement said. “This decision, made at our April 17 board meeting, underscores our unwavering commitment to ensuring a safe and secure learning environment for all our students.”
