The Houston Federation of Teachers has filed several grievances against the Houston Independent School District and Superintendent Mike Miles Tuesday.
In June, HISD Superintendent Mike Miles announced plans to reform 28 HISD campuses and transform them into New Education System schools, or NES schools.
Jackie Anderson, President of the Houston Federation of Teachers, told KPRC that the 57 principals did not follow the Texas Education Agency’s Education Code.According to the Texas Education Agency and as outlined on HISD’s website, each school principal is supposed to meet with their Schools Decision Making Committee concerning matters related to campus planning and curriculum.“We have instances where there was no meeting at all,” said Anderson.
“It appears to me that they’re stuck there, and that’s one reason why we’re filing a grievance,” said Anderson.
