Miles has an almost pathological faith in his infallability, so he ignores what is in plain sight. He will not listen to experts and terminates anyone who disagrees with him. Several principals told him their schools had no power and no air- conditioning after last week’s tornado. His response was “Yes, you do,”

Sometimes, it is hard to anticipate a bad weather event. Not this time. Miles should have delayed reopening schools like other impacted school districts did. Miles and his staff even forced principals to open schools that had no functioning air conditioning even after principals expressed grave concerns. Miles is not capable of managing a large school district. His board of managers, like feudal vassals, continue to defend him. Read what parents are saying on our CVPE FB group.

Subtract the lower revenue from the recapture savings ($284M-$264M Miles came out with a secret cache with about $20 M to play around with. What did Miles do with his secret $20 Million stash? He tripled the number of people earning more than $200k, bought spin bikes for 85 schools that no one used, hosted a $1/2 Million musical about himself, spent close to million on matching furniture for Central Office and designed an unsustainable NES system. Miles needs to be investigated. |
