HISD Superintendent's Controversial Convocation Play Sparks Backlash
HISD superintendent Mike Miles faced criticism from teachers and the teacher's union for his performance in a musical pep rally at a staff event. Miles made light of serious concerns raised by staff members, leading to accusations that the event was more about "The Mike Miles Show" than fostering team spirit. Some participants felt misled about the nature of the performance and expressed regret for being involved. The teacher's union also highlighted disparities in pay between Fine Arts teachers and educators in other subjects.
