The State of Texas has successfully dismantled one of the nation’s largest school districts to run an experiment. Losing this many teachers at one time is a tragedy.

.@HoustonISD lost more than 4,000 employees in June, including more than 2,400 teachers. The district lost more teachers in a single month than it typically loses in an entire year, per @HoustonChron.

CenterPoint doesn’t have to care about you. They’re a monopoly. You can’t go anywhere else. They just have to keep state officials happy to avoid accountability. You think anything is going to happen in the next legislative session?


Here’s some Houston ISD kids dismantling their own library. They might be a little young for it, but you’d like to think there’s a copy of Fahrenheit 451 in there.

Former Mike Miles defender: He can’t even read the room. “I was crushed at a recent event hosted by the Houston Landing … Miles avoided answering thoughtful questions from graduating HISD high school seniors.” houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outloo…


Elementary school parents aren’t usually rabble-rousers. We’ve got stuff to do, and we like routine. When you get this many of us yelling and picketing at this many schools, it’s time to pay attention.

HISD and its state-takeover school board just fired its janitors for next year. And guess who is out there right now, on Saturday, picking up the pieces on campus after the Houston storms?

This is a sorry excuse for an explanation @HoustonPubMedia. You are going to lose the trust of members, including this one, and probably the trust of your own journalists if you can’t be more transparent than this.
