Teachers in all school districts please DO NOT attend or participate in any of the Houston Loves Teachers events. They are being sponsored by @GoodReasonHou an organization that supports the takeover of #HISD

[Houston Education Association-TSTA/NEA @houston_tsta]

A sad day for students i #HISD. A veteran teacher with 20 years of teaching experience gone. This will NOT stop until Mike Miles is gone.

Things don’t just happen, says @garlin. You can’t be afraid to do and try hard things. That is an empowering truth. A different set of people, who are more empowered, inclusive and informed can make different choices that ultimately have better outcomes. #civitas2024

Michigan became a beacon & blueprint for the country for its work in addressing racial disparities during the COVID-19 pandemic, virtually flattening disparity rates in only 9 months, says @garlin. Even when things are hard, you can make progress by trying. #Civitas2024

Legal protection against domestic violence has only become widespread in recent years—

This chart shows the share of the global population living in countries that criminally sanction domestic violence or provide protection against it. The data comes from the World Bank’s Women, Business and the Law project.

Throughout the decades, the legislation on domestic violence has increased markedly. Until the 1990s, less than 1% of the global population in countries was legally protected from domestic violence, with only Canada, Sweden, and Ireland providing such safeguards. And as recently as 20 years ago, 80% of people lived in countries without legal penalties for domestic violence.

But by 2023, this had more than reversed, and 9 in 10 people lived in countries with legal measures to combat domestic violence. This shift highlights an increased recognition around the world that domestic violence is common, especially against women.

If you see one, squish it. That's the guidance from the Department of Agriculture when it comes to the spotted lanternfly. More on this invasive species: https://t.co/rqIg6BdiMh

@HoustonISD Actually it’s been a very challenging start - rife with lack of A/C broadly across the district and a bunch of testing instead of learning

"The irony is not lost on me as I was at the banquet to be honored for being Principal of the Year almost exactly a year ago," Neff principal Amanda Wingard said. She spent 21 years at the elementary school that she attended as a child. @MarcelinoKHOU  https://t.co/CUbaBAlmGp

HB 1605 incentivizes districts to the tune of $40/student to adopt “high-quality instructional materials.” With an enrollment over 180,000, HISD would receive more than $7M from the state by aligning all campuses to NES curriculum. https://t.co/6kgglG3xuB

[Houston Education Association-TSTA/NEA @houston_tsta]

Mike Miles can no longer say it's ONLY the few people at the #HISD board meetings that are naysayers. We have over 4,000 and counting people who want him gone!
If you want him removed from HISD, sign the petition https://t.co/p43fY5uraQ

[Houston Education Association-TSTA/NEA @houston_tsta]

Yesterday was yet another chaotic day in #HISD under Mike Miles' INEFFECTIVE leadership. While we know these people do not represent the community please flood their emails with your stories and concerns. https://t.co/72PziMwCGj
Then attend the board meeting tonight!

[Houston ISD @HoustonISD]

ALERT FOR HISD FAMILIES AND STAFF: Due to local weather and road conditions, HISD will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday, January 16. Schools and offices will reopen at the usual time on Wednesday, January 17.

🚨🚗 Attention, Houston! 🚗🚨

Texas has enacted a new law to combat street racing. Officers can now seize vehicles engaged in street racing, as well as arrest spectators obstructing traffic. Let's keep our streets safe and discourage this dangerous behavior.

[Houston Education Association-TSTA/NEA @houston_tsta]

This is why there isn't anything positive going on in #HISD

[Houston Education Association-TSTA/NEA @houston_tsta]

This is the culture that Mike Miles has brought to HISD. This teacher has suffered a heart attack and is in the hospital, but is worried about being fired because the teacher is missing days because of the heart attack. The policy is inhumane and illegal.

[Michelle Williams @hea_president]

This is the effect of Mike Miles' inhumane and illegal attendance policy.
