With no public input whatsoever, the unelected Board just handed Mike Miles a 5-year contract extension—an unprecedented five-year extension.
This reeks of public corruption. Miles and Morath cleared the path for Miles’ golden parachute by ousting the four board members who questioned this money grab.
Were there an elected board, we could hold them accountable at the ballot box. But instead, we’re in the dark—and won’t know the full cost to taxpayers until the district quietly posts the details at 5 p.m. today.
This is not democracy. It’s a scam. And our kids are paying the price. In HISD classrooms, students are trapped in a harmful experiment where real learning takes a backseat.
It’s time for Houston’s business leaders—those who haven’t yet—to demand an investigation and real accountability before more damage is done.
