HARRIS COUNTY, TX – The Cy-Fair ISD administrator, who recently came under fire for his race-related comments regarding black teachers in the district, has been released from the tech company where he worked, his former employer has announced .

On Jan. 10, Scott Henry and other administrators were discussing issues of race and equity when he discussed the number of black educators in the district, apparently linking it to state averages and dropout rates. He made the comments during a board meeting, which were posted on Youtube.

“Do you know what the national average for black teachers is? Ten percent. I looked for it. Houston ISD, which you all used as a shining example, you know what their average black teacher percentage numbers are? Thirty-six percent. I watched this. Do you know what their dropout rate is? Four percent. I don’t want to be at four percent. I don’t want to be HISD. I want to be a shining example, I want to be the district standard. I want to be the go-to place where people go,” Henry said. “And frankly, we’re on a budget, with limited resources and we have a great place, and we’re not spoiling it for everyone.”

NAACP Houston and FIEL Houston executives showed up at another board meeting a few days later, denouncing Henry’s comments. During this meeting, Henry disputed claims that the remarks he had made were racist in nature. He also said his family had received threats.
