An open letter to State Governors (Texas only)

Stop the State takeover of HISD

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

The recent decision by the Texas Education Agency to appoint Mike Miles as the superintendent of the Houston Independent School District, one of the nation's largest, is concerning. This move, part of a state takeover due to issues at Phillis Wheatley High School and allegations against school board members, has been met with opposition from local officials, education advocates, and parents. It's crucial to remember that the district has historically performed well, despite struggles at certain campuses. Rather than imposing state control, it would be more beneficial to invest in comprehensive support and resources for struggling schools. Requesting a reconsideration of this decision, focusing on collaborative efforts to improve academic outcomes and services for students with disabilities.
