Houston ISD Superintendent Mike Miles Implements Changes in Select Schools.
Houston ISD's new superintendent, Mike Miles, has announced a "New Education System" plan, starting with 29 schools, which includes raising teacher compensation to a record $96,000 a year at those schools. All employees of the Wheatley, Kashmere, and North Forest feeder systems will have to reapply for their jobs this summer, and soon all district employee pay will be tied to student performance. The Texas Education Agency has consistently ranked those three schools as the worst in the district.
