"Nearly 40 Houston Schools to Join New Education System Amid Ratings Plunge"

Houston ISD plans to add up to 40 failing schools to its New Education System model in the 2024 academic year, following the release of delayed 2022-2023 annual school ratings. The New Education System provides additional support to underperforming campuses, and the district aims to improve academic achievement and address declining ratings. State-appointed superintendent Mike Miles stated that the system is showing signs of progress, with lower discipline issues and teacher absenteeism. Teachers at schools transitioning to the NES model will undergo proficiency screenings, and those not meeting standards may need to find jobs in other district campuses.

Houston ISD's State-Appointed Superintendent Slashes Over 500 Jobs

Houston Independent School District's state-appointed superintendent, Mike Miles, plans to cut over 500 positions from the central office staff as part of his efforts to overhaul campuses across the district. The cuts will primarily affect academic departments, with additional departments expected to be impacted in the coming weeks. Miles aims to right-size the central office and improve efficiency. The initial round of dismissals is expected to be completed by July 17, with more job cuts planned throughout the year in various departments. The cuts are part of a larger plan to reshape schools, including the implementation of the "New Education System" in low-income neighborhoods.
