We did a survey! We got 955 responses from across HISD. In a nutshell, @HoustonISD has some very unhappy teachers and employees. As parents, this is very concerning to us. Read on in this thread for the results. Here, 41.6% of respondents plan to leave next year. (1/5)

Investigation of Mike Miles' THIRD FUTURE must be without Conflict of Interest. #TEA wants to investigate alone. Believe #TEA will Damage its Public Credibility & admit Miles (who TEA alone hired, w/input only from Abbott-appointee M. Morath) is guilty? Conflict of Interest!

From what we learned, it appears that the state-ran #HISD Houston School District did NOT reply back to any Local TV News Reporters on Friday with regards to any specific questions asked. Maybe HISD Communications Dept will start doing their 6-figure salaried jobs next month..

Abbott's @TEAinfo appointee Mike Morath is an entrepreneur with a lot of fingers in Education Software pies. Morath hired Supt MIKE MILES, who is shockingly closing libraries & having Only Software (Not Books) in Houston #HISD Schools. They praise AI, so here you go!
