Houston ISD Superintendent Mike Miles announces family events following TEA takeover

HOUSTON - Houston Independent School District Superintendent Mike Miles has announced a series of family events to share his visions for HISD and meet families across the district. 

"When I accepted this appointment two weeks ago, I told the families of HISD that their children are the reason I am here, and I feel that even more urgently now. I am excited to spend time getting to know our students and families the way I’ve been able to get to know our educators," said Miles. 

The Texas Education Agency announced the takeover of HISD in March, the state’s largest district. 

SUGGESTED: Houston I.S.D. Superintendent Millard House II sends out final tweet as superintendent

As the takeover began, the TEA announced Superintendent Miles’ appointment as the district new superintendent in June.
