New: The Texas Education Agency announced that it will place former Dallas schools superintendent Mike Miles as superintendent of the Houston ISD, commencing the state’s takeover of Texas’ largest school district.
Mike Miles speaks on the "Superintendent Confidential" panel at The Texas Tribune Festival in 2014. Miles was announced as the state-appointed superintendent of Houston ISD., The Texas Tribune’s daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.
Miles’ first day on the job overseeing the district of nearly 190,000 students is Thursday under a temporary 21-day contract until a board of managers, also newly-appointed by Education Commissioner Mike Morath, formally approves him. Morath will decide how long the organization’s state-appointed board – which replaced a democratically elected school board — and superintendent will be in place. Previous TEA takeovers have lasted two to six years.
To the protest of many Houston elected officials, local education advocates and parents, Miles and the new board will inherit a district that has for years remained an overall well-performing school system — compared to others in Texas — and was experiencing a bit of momentum with a new superintendent after years of scandal and public dysfunction.
