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.

HISD Superintendent Mike Miles Addresses Staffing and Takeover Concerns.

HISD Superintendent Mike Miles revealed new details about his "New Education System" program, which includes reconstituting 29 struggling schools in mostly Black and brown neighborhoods. Administrators, teachers, and staff members at these schools will need to reapply for their jobs, which will be opened to any qualified applicant. Miles also clarified that established HISD teachers will not be reclassified as "teacher apprentices" or "learning coaches." Under Miles’ “hospital model,” teachers at those 29 schools would make an average of $85,000, in addition to a $10,000 stipend, while teacher apprentices and learning coaches would make less.

Mike Miles appointed as Houston ISD superintendent during state takeover

The Texas Education Agency has appointed Mike Miles as superintendent of the Houston Independent School District, marking the start of the state's takeover of the district. Miles will work under a temporary 21-day contract until a board of managers, also newly appointed by Education Commissioner Mike Morath, formally approves him to lead the district. The state's takeover of Houston ISD was in response to years of poor academic outcomes at a single campus in the district, allegations of misconduct against school board members, and the ongoing presence of a conservator who's been overseeing the district for years.
