Reminder: Jan 31 | 11 a.m. CVPE Meeting

Wonder where HISD dollars meant for students are really going under Mike Miles? 

Get a crash course in HISD finances, Miles’ spending and the Feb 12th student sickout (sign up here.). Ann Eagleton will break down where the money is going and why there is no real oversight.

Our stance is simple: Our kids need a bond, but how can anyone in good conscience give more money to a thief? No elected board, no oversight, no bond. 

☕❄️ Hot coffee, snacks, and good company to keep the cold away. Come warm up with us.

This morning, HISD postponed tonight’s Board Workshop on Miles’ plan to use SB 1882 to charter magnet schools like HSPVA, HAIS, and Energy until Feb. 12. It raises the question of whether HISD planned to push through board policy changes without any public scrutiny at all and only postponed when people signed up to speak.

Read Lantrip mom’s op-ed on why kids deserve real support, not Miles’ Houston Promise marketing stunt. Her letters to H-E-B leadership have gone unanswered. In the Houston Press [link here].

Jan 28, 2026: “Houston ISD's top leaders each earn a $30,000 bonus on top of their annual base salaries, according to their 2025-26 performance contracts…The contracts also give cabinet members an 8.9% reimbursement for the Teacher Retirement System of Texas or HISD retirement plan.” Read more in the Houston Chronicle [gift link here].
