New HISD Superintendent Mike Miles faces union dismay and state takeover.
HISD Superintendent Mike Miles has announced that 29 schools in the Wheatley, Kashmere, and North Forest high school feeder patterns will be reconstituted as part of his efforts to establish "wholesale systemic reform" in struggling schools. Staff from top to bottom, including principals, teachers, and maintenance staff, will have to reapply for their jobs, which will be open to any qualified applicant. Teachers who are not rehired at their school, or who are not interested in reapplying there, will be placed at a different campus in the district.
