To recap: The TX Education Agency waited til all results were in from schools for 2023, & THEN RETROACTIVELY set the bar much higher to pass A-F accountability. 120 school districts sued Agency for foul play. The Greg Abbott appointed 15th Court ordered A-F grades released.

Jeff Yass, who gave Greg Abbott the largest campaign contribution in TX history makes his $ off private equity. Coincidence? No. They will do schools like healthcare— squeeze out all the worth for profit. The vision: K-12 education that most will finance, like college.

All but one of these principals gracefully exited their positions—by force, of course. Wheatly's principal was clearly out of line for wanting to call the Houston Fire Department during a gas leak. I mean, who needs safety protocols when you have Mike Miles propaganda? David

Miles has spent the past year bragging at the Legislature and to anyone who will listen that STAAR scores are up since the takeover—while quietly rigging the system by restricting access to rigorous courses, especially in Black and Latino communities. houstoncvpe.org/3_000_students…

Students in #HISD are sharing their experiences of not receiving the education they deserve under Mike Miles. Their voices matter—are we listening? Gina Hinojosa James Talarico Rep. Suleman Lalani, M.D. Gene Wu Rep. Vikki Goodwin Brad Buckley Harold V. Dutton, Jr. Rep Alma Allen

It has been 25 days since the Senate received HB 2, the bill to fund our schools, and it has not even been granted a hearing. Republican leadership promised Texans a ‘Texas Two-Step,’ but they’re delivering our schools a Texas Two-Timing instead. #txlege #txed

Mike Miles claims STAAR scores are up since #HISD takeover—but HoustonCVPE says he restricted access to rigorous courses, especially in Black & Latino communities. This isn’t progress—it’s data manipulation that deepens inequities & future opportunity. houstoncvpe.org/3_000_students…

Teachers in all school districts please DO NOT attend or participate in any of the Houston Loves Teachers events. They are being sponsored by Good Reason Houston an organization that supports the takeover of #HISD

“HISD found an employee sent a lewd video to a student. Parents were left in the dark. The former Worthing High School wraparound coordinator was fired and faces a state misconduct investigation.” #EndHarmfulHISDTakeover houstonlanding.org/hisd-found-an-…

Miles’ head cheerleader gets a trophy. We get the mess. Protest Monday. #HISD More at houstoncvpe.org/campos_sham_aw…

Pop quiz: Is this group of Texas representatives defending their vote A) against letting 16-year-olds read The Perks of Being a Wallflower or B) in *favor* of letting 16-year-olds get married?

Abolishing STAAR is not enough. The A-F system remains specifically developed to punish under resourced communities instead of investing in them.

I walked over to the press conference, Dan Patrick unveiled his snacks, and I just walked out because the whole thing was stupid. Dan has stopped acting in good faith on all fronts and is just a jerk to nearly everyone. God bless Jeremy Wallace for staying, though #txlege

Texans don't need state officials forcing districts to adopt untested trainings by well-connected consultants. We need high-quality teachers, counselors, librarians, & principals to actually educate kids. Rachel S.

We received this recording of Peterson Elementary Principal John Aleman saying “F*CK NO” when asked if parents are allowed to attend their child’s promotion ceremonies. This is the type of culture Mike Miles F. Mike Miles promotes. One that excludes parents. This has to stop.

On Mon, TEA extended the harmful HISD takeover for 2 more yrs—doubling down on a failed experiment that’s actively harming kids. The 4 new board members seem handpicked to sell off HISD real estate piece by piece, put exec salaries 1st & kids dead last. houstoncvpe.org/tea_doubles_do…

Thank you Houston Chronicle & Nusaiba Mizan for highlighting HISD parents coming together for our supply drive, b/c of cuts to wraparound services from the TEA takeover! We want to help our kids learn and thrive! #TEAgoAWAY Houston Education Association-TSTA/NEA HoustonCVPE houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…

“Superintendent Miles has gone on record saying he’s not worried about turnover. Well, it worries me. My kids are in school now, we don’t have 3 yrs for replacement teachers to get up to speed and at this rate, they won’t stick around that long anyways.” houstonpress.com/news/op-ed-con…

The 4 new HISD Board of Managers. Thursday's board meeting is going to be interesting.
