Houston ISD Board Seeks Teacher Termination Power and Exemption from State Laws in District of Innovation Move

The state-appointed Board of Managers for Houston ISD has approved policy changes that allow for the termination of teachers from schools that are closed and seeks exemptions from state laws. Superintendent Mike Miles cited declining enrollment and increased costs as reasons for potential school closures. The board also approved the formation of a planning group to seek "District of Innovation" status, which could lead to changes such as lengthening the school year and hiring non-certified educators. Some community members criticized the removal of committee members and the resolution seeking exemption from a law requiring a police officer at every school. Houston ISD plans to adopt an alternative safety plan.
