Floyd, why bother with a consent agenda if you're just following the Governor's direction? We know you don't want to hear from the public. We also know this 1882 partnership is just a precursor to future corruption. The secret is out. We have a solution coming in November. #HISD #educationmatters #
For the second time, HISD has failed in its attempt to terminate Houston Education Association President Michelle Williams' teaching contract. How many more times will she have to demonstrate the legal strength of the National Education Association? #HISD #HEA #EducationRights #teachers

#HISD rushes to close 12 schools with little info, input, and no accountability.
“Every single one of the 12 schools are in super under resourced black & brown neighborhoods. It's almost as if Mike Miles said, where are the poorest people? Let me close their schools.”

End the takeover!
Miles is unaccountable to the community and the state is letting him run wild
Abbott wants to kill education for Houston students, Miles is his puppet
Despicable Mike Miles must go!
Magically, the budget isn't in the red anymore. Seems suspicious—don't trust anything coming from HISD under the appointed superintendent. #HISD
“‘Because when you look at these officials who oversee these entities…when they're negotiating on behalf of anyone other than the direct entity that they're overseeing, then you have to question whose interest they're representing.’”

“Charles Blain, president of the Urban Reform Institute, said he’s never seen a public official help arrange a contract between a separate public entity and a vendor.
‘And that’s not to say it hasn't happened, but I would say that it shouldn't happen,’ Blain said.”

“Geier…said generally there would be some type of compensation to a school district that’s authoring the curriculum.
‘So it's a little surprising to me on its face, that the Houston ISD would just give this organization its curriculum,’ Geier said.”
#Houston #HISD #Miles
“‘That is a public record, and they shouldn't be commingling official business and their personal business on their email account, for example, any more than they would commingle public funds and private funds in their bank account,’ Aleshire said.”
#HISD #Houston #Miles
“And experts said that they never heard of a public school district giving away its curriculum, developed with district experts and tax-payer resources, for free to another school system.”
#Houston #HISD #Miles
“More than two years into this state takeover, though, I have a hard time believing that high quality means a bunch of slideshows instead of books, AI worksheets pocked with errors and droves of first-year teachers – with one in four teachers uncertified.”
#Houston #HISD
Our President, Michelle Williams, exposed how the Miles admin forced English passages on struggling 3rd graders (79% below grade level!) and ignored Special Ed IEPs (TEA confirmed!). The next day, a Benbrook principal was removed. #HISD #EducationCrisis #Accountability
The teacher exodus wasn't enough? 🤯 A frustrated HISD teacher's letter exposes the chaos Mike Miles and his cabinet have made. It's a mess! #HISD #TeacherVoice #EducationCrisis
Last day of early voting is TODAY thru 7pm! And, shout out to our awesome student volunteers at W Grey- I am SO proud your civic engagement!! #HISD #earlyvoting #SchoolBoard2025 #students
Early voting- kids welcome! Houston folks, find your polling place at harrisvotes.com and make a PLAN! Oct. 20-31, 7am-7pm #vote #hisd #schoolboard #aapiwomenlead
We need more transparency re: policy changes that disproportionately affect schools in under-resourced areas. No longer funding interpreters at IEP meetings forces schools to scramble for funds to provide this service that is required by FEDERAL LAW #HISD #transparency #schoolboard #vote
“Turns out, reading a good book in an Houston ISD classroom has become a difficult feat on campuses targeted by a state takeover that seems more focused on raising reading test scores than raising life-long readers.”

Thank you @houstonchronicle.com and @meganmenchaca.bsky.social for the shout out! I’m running for #HISD school board district 7, in support of smart spending on STUDENTS and local control
So it's widely supported by the locals, who are the ones to be enforcing it. Yay. Sounds about the same as the #HISD Takeover by Abbott, just for the entire city. Cool, cool.
90%+ of the affected students live in or near poverty. Many have little access to print/digital books, technology, literacy/research support, & quiet study space at home, & may not have adults available to read to them.
TX: School libraries help our students read and succeed.
