A room full of Houston ISD parents, students and teachers got to shelter in place along with Superintendent Mike Miles and his administrators Thursday night when a tornado watch turned into a tornado warning and the Hattie Mae White administration building lost power, lights and the internet.
Not having all the details didn't stop one speaker after another from decrying the recent mass principal, teacher, librarian and support staff firings throughout the district. Plans are to expand the number of New Education System campuses by 45 more schools with $732 million in total directed to the 130 campuses that will be in the program promoted by Miles. Non NES schools had been told weeks ago that they will take a 12 percent cut to their budgets.
We did did receive a copy of the tentative $2.1 billion budget, one that still retains a fund balance of $800 million despite losing the federal COVID relief money. To do so, meant cutting a lot of positions, however, which in the case of teachers, Miles has called"right-sizing.
