Mike Miles, state-appointed superintendent of Houston ISD, is at the center of the investigation.
Mike Miles is no stranger to controversy since being appointed by the Texas Education Agency to oversee a state takeover of Houston’s public schools. His steps to remake HISD as superintendent have been the target of
And almost immediately the schools started in Texas started losing money – $1 million, $2 million, $3 million. In 2022 and ’23, the three schools together in Texas that Miles was operating had lost $2.7 million. We were very curious as to why and asked many times to see financial records that would show where the money was going.
And when you ask “how much money”… We know that millions of dollars were paid to the operations in Colorado. We do not know how much of that money actually was used to supplement the schools in Colorado.Right. It’s not clear yet. We’ve asked for detailed information to find out. Well, he really spoke out for the first time and essentially he dismissed it off hand as nonsense. And then he basically said, “the way we operate, the way a lot of charter schools operate, is to set up a network and then take a network fee and then that money is fungible and able to be used by the different schools within the network.”
We have asked repeatedly for that information. Where is this money going? What services are the schools in Texas getting in return? And again, nothing but crickets from Third Future Schools in Colorado.We received a generalized statement saying, “we’re going to look into this” because Ana Hernandez, state representative, asked for an investigation. So they are going to proceed with one. To whatever extent, I’m not aware.
