The state-appointed managers will hold immense power. They can control the budget, school closures, collaborations with charter networks, policies around curriculum and library books, as well as hiring or firing the superintendent, among other important decisions. 

This is bad. The state board is full of the worst conservative ghouls imaginable, the very same people who rewrote history textbooks to say workers instead of slaves. Houston ISD has over 200,000 students.
