Newly obtained records: ECISD students at Third Future Schools hit only 4 of 10 targets for 6th through 8th reading and math last year, though they achieved the key state metrics. Houston ISD principals saw Mike Miles' NES model there to "squash any doubts"

Getting hyped for @_DominicAnthony's re-telling of Houston ISD's first yr under state-appointed Supt Mike Miles.

Surreal to hear what has essentially been the focus of my work life for the past yr encapsulated in 3 mins of audio.

Listen to the trailer and you'll be hyped too

Every year, @UTSOA professor Juan Miró gives his students an assignment: draw the window in your bedroom. In 2022, several students raise their hands.

They couldn’t do their homework. They didn’t have windows in their bedrooms.

It’s my first day at @HoustonPubMedia! I’ll be covering everything Houston - from city hall to health care - as an enterprise reporter. I’m excited to join the newsroom and the greater radio world 🤠

As @HoustonISD students prepare to take the STAAR, Superintendent Mike Miles is telling schools to avoid direct test preparation.

"There should be little test prep — whereby students take a series of assessments to prepare for STAAR or NWEA," he wrote.

A small fraction of Houston ISD’s 11,000 teachers called in sick on Thursday in protest against Mike Miles and his sweeping reforms. The Houston Federation of Teachers is urging union and non-union members alike to not participate.  https://t.co/wV26lSKM5a

We obtained correspondence showing concerns by state education staffers about Houston ISD’s rushed rollout of a controversial performance evaluation system for educators. Experts say the messages call the system further into question. https://t.co/qbyXMd6mor

SAPD's SWAT unit went to Dubai in Feb for an event w/known human rights violators that had a stated goal to "foster an exchange of tactical techniques and skills."

School staffers say the rollout of Houston ISD's new systems for evaluating educators' and campuses' performances was rushed, confusion abounds, and clarity is hard to find.  https://t.co/pVeM1UvYgi

[Asher Lehrer-Small @small_asher]

Texas charter schools are publicly funded, but privately operated.

For accountability, state law requires them to publicize documents like board mtg agendas and budgetary info.

Yet most Houston area networks are failing to do so.

Houston is deemphasizing its commitment to Vision Zero under new Mayor John Whitmire, which could reverse the modest progress the city has made in traffic safety and hinder its ability to receive federal grant funding for transportation projects. https://t.co/2jSglK7SOa

[Alejandro Serrano @serrano_alej]

hard to imagine this happening had @sgonzalezkelly + @HoustonChron not broken the initial story that the state-appointed superintendent of Texas' largest district had put about half of its principals on notice bc of their midyear proficiency screenings.

[Houston Public Media @HoustonPubMedia]

Houston ISD will proceed with a controversial pay-for-performance evaluation system for principals. But, according to Miles, the mid-year screening that threatened many campus leaders’ jobs will not have an effect on the final outcome.  https://t.co/L2H8AaikSW

Protesters brave the elements outside of the Marriott Marquis hotel in downtown Houston ahead of Mike Miles' State of the District speech.
