TEA Commissioner Mike Morath named Mike Miles as the new superintendent of HISD. Superintendent Miles began working Thursday under a 21-day interim contract until he receives formal approval from the Board of Managers, a news release said.
“Over the past few months, we have been heartened to see so many Houstonians eagerly step up to serve their community and the students of Houston ISD,” said Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath. “We were looking for people from a wide array of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives who believe all children can learn and achieve at high levels when properly supported and who can work together.
According to the TEA, the appointed Board of Managers temporarily replaces the current elected board of trustees and will be responsible for overseeing the management of the school district. The board will hold its first public board meeting on June 8 and is expected to work in collaboration with the new superintendent to ensure that educators and staff have the necessary tools and resources at their disposal to facilitate student success in the classroom and beyond, the release said.
