Williams says a state takeover is necessary to restore the district's financial stability, and the public's trust, he says BISD has yet to do it right.

He said, "It's also unfortunate that as recent as right now the district has failed to file its annual financial report, which was due as far back as January."

There are still two pending TEA investigations into BISD, they deal with cheating allegations and attendance issues.

Williams says once he installs a seven-member board of managers in late May, before the end of the school year, he'll most likely as the board to complete those investigations.

He says the board will serve a complete two-year term, which is the maximum it can be in place.  He says sometime after the end of that term in June 2016, a school board election will be held.

Williams also pointed out that the takeover has nothing to do with race issues.  He says it's all about financial dysfunction.

He can say that until he dies due to lack of oxygen, he will never change the minds of those now in control of BISD but soon to lose that control!!
