Parents at Lantrip Elementary School in Houston protested the sudden removal of Principal Valiza Castro on Wednesday morning, demanding her reinstatement and transparency from the Houston Independent School District (HISD). Castro, who was hired in June, was placed on administrative leave without a clear explanation, with HISD citing only that the decision was in the best interest of students, staff, and teachers. Parents expressed frustration over the district’s lack of transparency and chanted outside the school, calling for accountability from HISD and Superintendent Mike Miles.
